Air mass model in PVLIB

When running:

mc.run_model(tmy_data)

which air mass model is used?

https://pvpmc.sandia.gov/modeling-steps/1-weather-design-inputs/irradiance-and-insolation-2/air-mass/

how can I change to other air mass model? Moreover, where can I find that information (what mathematical models are created in python and how to change it, to run the: mc.run_model(tmy_data).

Solution

  • The ModelChain documentation states:

    airmass_model (str, default 'kastenyoung1989') – Passed to location.get_airmass.
