pvdeg.humidity.front_encap#

pvdeg.humidity.front_encap(rh_ambient, temp_ambient, temp_module, So=1.81390702, Eas=16.729)[source]#

Function returns a diffusivity weighted average Relative Humidity of the module surface.

Parameters:

rh_ambient (series (float)) – ambient Relative Humidity [%]
temp_ambient (series (float)) – ambient outdoor temperature [°C]
temp_module (pandas series (float)) – The surface temperature in Celsius of the solar panel module “module temperature [°C]”
So (float) – Encapsulant solubility prefactor in [g/cm3] So = 1.81390702(g/cm3) is the suggested value for EVA.
Eas (float) – Encapsulant solubility activation energy in [kJ/mol] Eas = 16.729(kJ/mol) is the suggested value for EVA.

Returns:

RHfront_series (pandas series (float)) – Relative Humidity of Frontside Solar module Encapsulant [%]
