sunpeek.components.iam_methods.get_iam_k50(aoi, k50)#

Determines the incidence angle modifier using the ASHRAE transmission model, if only k50, the IAM value at aoi=50° is given.

Parameters:

aoi (pd.Series) – The angle of incidence (AOI) between the module normal vector and the sun-beam vector, as pint (unit aware) pandas Series. Angles of NaN will result in NaN.
k50 (pint.Quantity) – Incidence angle modifier for angle of incidence of 50°. This can be converted to b0 used for the ASHRAE IAM model.

Returns:

A unit-aware, dimensionless pandas Series containing the IAM values.

Return type:

pd.Series
