Solar module R

What is solar2?

The solaR2 package allows for reproducible research both for photovoltaics (PV) systems performance and solar radiation. It includes a set of classes, methods, and functions to calculate the sun geometry and the solar radiation incident on a photovoltaic generator, as well as to simulate the performance of various photovoltaic energy applications.

What is the solar package?

The solaR package allows for reproducible research both for photovoltaics (PV) systems performance and solar radiation. It includes a set of classes, methods and functions to calculate the sun geometry and the solar radiation incident on a photovoltaic generator and to simulate the performance of several applications of the photovoltaic energy.

What is solar module?

A single photovoltaic Module/Panel is an assembly of connected solar cells that will absorb sunlight as a source of energy to develop electricity. A group of PV modules (also called PV panels) is wired into an extensive array called PV array to gain a required current and voltage.

Where can I find the development version of solar?

The development version is available at GitHub. The best place to learn how to use the package is the companion paper published by the Journal of Statistical Software. This book (in Spanish) contains detailed information about solar radiation and photovoltaic systems. In my articles I frequently use solaR.
