pvdeg.degradation.arrhenius

Calculate the degradation rate using an Arrhenius function with power law functions for humidity and irradiance dependence.

pvdeg.degradation.arrhenius_deg

Calculate the Acceleration Factor between the rate of degradation of a modeled environment versus a modeled controlled environment.

pvdeg.degradation.degradation_spectral
