bifacial_radiance.spectral_utils.generate_spectral_tmys(wavelengths, spectra_folder, metdata, location_name, output_folder)[source]#

Generate a series of TMY-like files with per-wavelength irradiance. There will be one file per wavelength. These are necessary to run a spectral simulation with gencumsky

Paramters:#

wavelengths: (np.array or list)

array or list of integer wavelengths to simulate, in units [nm]. example: [300,325,350]

spectra_folder: (path or str)

File path or path-like string pointing to the folder contained the SMARTS generated spectra

metdata: pandas DataFrame

DataFrame containing the weather data, with a datetime index.

location_name:

_description_

output_folder:

File path or path-like string pointing to the destination folder for spectral TMYs
