Bases: SolarHeating

Solar heating term.

If more than one input are numpy arrays, they should have the same size.

:param latitude: Latitude in degrees. :param altitude: Altitude. :param cable_azimuth: Azimuth of the conductor in degrees. :param datetime_utc: Datetime in UTC. :param outer_diameter: external diameter of the conductor. :param solar_absorptivity: Solar absorption coefficient of the conductor. :param solar_irradiance: Optional precomputed solar irradiance term.
