Ground Photovoltaics

Create a REopt ground-mounted photovoltaic system from its footprint geometry (horizontal Rhino surfaces).

Inputs

  • geo [Required]

A horizontal Rhino surface (or closed polyline) representing a footprint to be converted into a ground-mounted photovoltaic system.

  • name

Text to set the name for the PV system, which will also be incorporated into unique PV system identifier. If the name is not provided, a random one will be assigned.

  • bldg

An optional Dragonfly Building with which the photovoltaic system is associated. If None, the PV system will be assumed to be a community PV field that isn't associated with a particular building meter.

Outputs

  • ground_pv

A Dragonfly ground-mounted PV system object that can be exported to a GeoJSON in order to account for ground-mounted photovoltaics in a REopt simulation.
