Energy Models Overview
Daly’s energy model is a physics-based PV production pipeline built around pvlib and Daly-specific shading/loss logic.Model Characteristics
- Weather-driven simulation using timestamped irradiance and meteorology
- Array geometry support for fixed-tilt, tracker, and rotational floating layouts
- Near + far shading support, including 3D shading-scene integration
- DC and AC loss chain with explicit loss attribution in outputs
- Async execution through worker tasks for large model runs

Versioning
Energy model inputs supportschemaVersion, and outputs include algorithmVersion (for example v3.1.0) so integrations can track behavioral revisions.
