6 - Exploring Trackerdict Structure#
Tutorial 6 gives a good, detailed introduction to the trackerdict structure step by step. Here is a condensed summary of functions you can use to explore the tracker dictionary.
Steps:
Create a short Simulation + tracker dictionary beginning to end for 1 day
Explore the tracker dictionary

Saving a cumulative-results file in the main simulation folder.This adds up by sensor location the irradiance over all hours or configurations considered.
Warning: This file saving routine does not clean results, so if your setup has ygaps, or 2+modules or torque tubes, doing a deeper cleaning and working with the individual results files in the results folder is highly suggested.
