Component to purchase electrical energy via a PPA from a Photovoltaic plant that produces electricity from solar radiation.

Parameters:

  • capex (float | None, optional) – Capital expenditure cost of the component per electrical power [€/kWp], by default 0

  • opex (float | None, optional) – Operational expenditure cost of the component per CAPEX per year [%/a], by default 0

  • installed_power (float, optional) – Already installed electrical power of the component [kW] which acts as a lower bound, by default 0

  • potential_power (float | None, optional) – Maximum installable electrical power of the component [kW], by default None

  • latitude (float) – Latitude of the location of the plant

  • longitude (float) – Longitude of the location of the plant

  • azimuth (float, optional) –

    Azimuth orientation [°] of the photovoltaic plant where the power will be generated, by default 180

    • North=0

    • East=90

    • South=180

    • West=270

  • tilt (float, optional) –

    Tilt orientation [°] of the photovoltaic plant where the power will be generated, by default 40

  • module_type (Literal["glass_glass", "glass_polymer"], optional) – Describes the module’s construction. Used for cell and module temperature calculations, by default “glass_glass”

  • racking_model (Literal["open_rack", "close_mount", "insulated_back"], optional) – Used to identify a parameter set for the SAPM cell temperature model, by default “insulated_back”

  • air_temperature (WeatherDataHeightSpecific | None, optional) – Object containing weather data describing the air temperature at a location, by default None

  • dni (WeatherDataHeightUnspecific | None, optional) – Object containing weather data describing the direct normal irradiance at a location, by default None
