class physics.models.arrays.BasicArray(panel_efficiency, panel_size)#

Bases: BaseArray

calculate_produced_energy(solar_irradiance, tick)#

Returns a numpy array with the energy produced by the solar panels across each the length of each tick

Parameters:

solar_irradiance (np.ndarray) – (float[N]) the global horizontal irradiance(GHI) at each moment experienced by the vehicle, in W/m2
tick (float) – (float) the duration of a time step in seconds

Returns:

(float[N]) array of energy produced by the solar panels on the vehicle in Joules

Return type:

np.ndarray
