pvlib.location.Location.get_solarposition#

Location.get_solarposition(times, pressure=None, temperature=12, **kwargs)[source]#

Uses the pvlib.solarposition.get_solarposition() function to calculate the solar zenith, azimuth, etc. at this location.

Parameters:

times (pandas.DatetimeIndex) – Must be localized or UTC will be assumed.
pressure (float, or array-like, optional) – If not specified, pressure is calculated using pvlib.atmosphere.alt2pres() and self.altitude.
temperature (float or array-like, default 12)
kwargs – passed to pvlib.solarposition.get_solarposition()

Returns:

solar_position (DataFrame) – Columns depend on the method kwarg, but always include zenith and azimuth. The angles are in degrees.
