class PVSystem:
    """
    The PVSystem class defines a standard set of PV system attributes
    and modeling functions. This class describes the collection and
    interactions of PV system components rather than an installed system
    on the ground. It is typically used in combination with
    :py:class:`~pvlib.location.Location` and
    :py:class:`~pvlib.modelchain.ModelChain`
    objects.

    The class supports basic system topologies consisting of:

        * `N` total modules arranged in series
          (`modules_per_string=N`, `strings_per_inverter=1`).
        * `M` total modules arranged in parallel
          (`modules_per_string=1`, `strings_per_inverter=M`).
        * `NxM` total modules arranged in `M` strings of `N` modules each
          (`modules_per_string=N`, `strings_per_inverter=M`).

    The class is complementary to the module-level functions.

    The attributes should generally be things that don't change about
    the system, such the type of module and the inverter. The instance
    methods accept arguments for things that do change, such as
    irradiance and temperature.

    Parameters
    ----------
    arrays : Array or iterable of Array, optional
        An Array or list of arrays that are part of the system. If not
        specified, a single array is created from the other parameters (e.g.
        `surface_tilt`, `surface_azimuth`). If specified as a list, the list
        must contain at least one Array;
        if length of arrays is 0 a ValueError is raised. If `arrays` is
        specified the following PVSystem parameters are ignored:

        - ``surface_tilt``
        - ``surface_azimuth``
        - ``albedo``
        - ``surface_type``
        - ``module``
        - ``module_type``
        - ``module_parameters``
        - ``temperature_model_parameters``
        - ``modules_per_string``
        - ``strings_per_inverter``

    surface_tilt: float or array-like, default 0
        Surface tilt angles in decimal degrees.
        The tilt angle is defined as degrees from horizontal
        (e.g. surface facing up = 0, surface facing horizon = 90)

    surface_azimuth: float or array-like, default 180
        Azimuth angle of the module surface in decimal degrees.
        North=0, East=90, South=180, West=270.

    albedo : float, optional
        Ground surface albedo. If not supplied, then ``surface_type`` is used
        to look up a value in  :py:const:`pvlib.albedo.SURFACE_ALBEDOS`.
        If ``surface_type`` is also not supplied then a ground surface albedo
        of 0.25 is used.

    surface_type : string, optional
        The ground surface type. See  :py:const:`pvlib.albedo.SURFACE_ALBEDOS`
        for valid values.

    module : string, optional
        The model name of the modules.

    module_type : string, default 'glass_polymer'
         Describes the module's construction. Valid strings are 'glass_polymer'
         and 'glass_glass'. Used for cell and module temperature calculations.

    module_parameters : dict or Series, optional
        Module parameters as defined by the SAPM, CEC, or other.

    temperature_model_parameters : dict or Series, optional
        Temperature model parameters as required by one of the models in
        :py:mod:`pvlib.temperature` (excluding ``poa_global``, ``temp_air`` and
        ``wind_speed``).

    modules_per_string: int or float, default 1
        See system topology discussion above.

    strings_per_inverter: int or float, default 1
        See system topology discussion above.

    inverter : string, optional
        The model name of the inverters.

    inverter_parameters : dict or Series, optional
        Inverter parameters as defined by the SAPM, CEC, or other.

    racking_model : string, optional
        Valid strings are ``'open_rack'``, ``'close_mount'``,
        ``'insulated_back'``, ``'freestanding'`` and ``'insulated'``.
        Used to identify a parameter set for the SAPM or PVsyst cell
        temperature model.
        See :py:func:`~pvlib.temperature.sapm_module` and
        :py:func:`~pvlib.temperature.pvsyst_cell` for definitions.

    losses_parameters : dict or Series, optional
        Losses parameters as defined by PVWatts or other.

    name : string, optional

    **kwargs
        Arbitrary keyword arguments.
        Included for compatibility, but not used.

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If ``arrays`` is not None and has length 0.

@dataclass
class SingleAxisTrackerMount(AbstractMount):
    """
    Single-axis tracker racking for dynamic solar tracking.

    Parameters
    ----------
    axis_tilt : float, default 0
        The tilt of the axis of rotation (i.e, the y-axis defined by
        axis_azimuth) with respect to horizontal. [degrees]

    axis_azimuth : float, default 180
        A value denoting the compass direction along which the axis of
        rotation lies, measured east of north. [degrees]

    max_angle : float or tuple, default 90
        A value denoting the maximum rotation angle, in decimal degrees,
        of the one-axis tracker from its horizontal position (horizontal
        if axis_tilt = 0). If a float is provided, it represents the maximum
        rotation angle, and the minimum rotation angle is assumed to be the
        opposite of the maximum angle. If a tuple of (min_angle, max_angle) is
        provided, it represents both the minimum and maximum rotation angles.

        A rotation to 'max_angle' is a counter-clockwise rotation about the
        y-axis of the tracker coordinate system. For example, for a tracker
        with 'axis_azimuth' oriented to the south, a rotation to 'max_angle'
        is towards the west, and a rotation toward 'min_angle' is in the
        opposite direction, toward the east. Hence a max_angle of 180 degrees
        (equivalent to max_angle = (-180, 180)) allows the tracker to achieve
        its full rotation capability.

    backtrack : bool, default True
        Controls whether the tracker has the capability to "backtrack"
        to avoid row-to-row shading. False denotes no backtrack
        capability. True denotes backtrack capability.

    gcr : float, default 2.0/7.0
        A value denoting the ground coverage ratio of a tracker system
        which utilizes backtracking; i.e. the ratio between the PV array
        surface area to total ground area. A tracker system with modules
        2 meters wide, centered on the tracking axis, with 6 meters
        between the tracking axes has a gcr of 2/6=0.333. If gcr is not
        provided, a gcr of 2/7 is default. gcr must be <=1. [unitless]

    cross_axis_tilt : float, default 0.0
        The angle, relative to horizontal, of the line formed by the
        intersection between the slope containing the tracker axes and a plane
        perpendicular to the tracker axes. Cross-axis tilt should be specified
        using a right-handed convention. For example, trackers with axis
        azimuth of 180 degrees (heading south) will have a negative cross-axis
        tilt if the tracker axes plane slopes down to the east and positive
        cross-axis tilt if the tracker axes plane slopes up to the east. Use
        :func:`~pvlib.tracking.calc_cross_axis_tilt` to calculate
        `cross_axis_tilt`. [degrees]

    racking_model : str, optional
        Valid strings are ``'open_rack'``, ``'close_mount'``,
        ``'insulated_back'``, ``'freestanding'``, ``'insulated'``, and
        ``'semi_integrated'``.
        Used to identify a parameter set for the SAPM or PVsyst cell
        temperature model. ``'open_rack'`` or ``'freestanding'`` should
        be used for systems with single-axis trackers.
        See :py:func:`~pvlib.temperature.sapm_module` and
        :py:func:`~pvlib.temperature.pvsyst_cell` for definitions.

    Notes
    -----
    If the reference parameters in the ModuleParameters struct are read
    from a database or library of parameters (e.g. System Advisor
    Model), it is important to use the same EgRef and dEgdT values that
    were used to generate the reference parameters, regardless of the
    actual bandgap characteristics of the semiconductor. For example, in
    the case of the System Advisor Model library, created as described
    in [3], EgRef and dEgdT for all modules were 1.121 and -0.0002677,
    respectively.

    This table of reference bandgap energies (EgRef), bandgap energy
    temperature dependence (dEgdT), and "typical" airmass response (M)
    is provided purely as reference to those who may generate their own
    reference module parameters (a_ref, IL_ref, I0_ref, etc.) based upon
    the various PV semiconductors. Again, we stress the importance of
    using identical EgRef and dEgdT when generation reference parameters
    and modifying the reference parameters (for irradiance, temperature,
    and airmass) per DeSoto's equations.

    :math:`n N_s V_{th}` are all scalars, a single curve is returned. If any
    are array-like (of the same length), multiple IV curves are calculated.

    The input parameters can be calculated from meteorological data using a
    function for a single diode model, e.g.,
    :py:func:`~pvlib.pvsystem.calcparams_desoto`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    photocurrent : numeric
        Light-generated current :math:`I_L` (photocurrent)
        ``0 <= photocurrent``. [A]

    saturation_current : numeric
        Diode saturation :math:`I_0` current under desired IV curve
        conditions. ``0 < saturation_current``. [A]

    resistance_series : numeric
        Series resistance :math:`R_s` under desired IV curve conditions.
        ``0 <= resistance_series < numpy.inf``.  [ohm]

    resistance_shunt : numeric
        Shunt resistance :math:`R_{sh}` under desired IV curve conditions.
        ``0 < resistance_shunt <= numpy.inf``.  [ohm]

    nNsVth : numeric
        The product of three components: 1) the usual diode ideality factor
        :math:`n`, 2) the number of cells in series :math:`N_s`, and 3)
        the cell thermal voltage
        :math:`V_{th}`. The thermal voltage of the cell (in volts) may be
        calculated as :math:`k_B T_c / q`, where :math:`k_B` is
        Boltzmann's constant (J/K), :math:`T_c` is the temperature of the p-n
        junction in Kelvin, and :math:`q` is the charge of an electron
        (coulombs). ``0 < nNsVth``.  [V]

    method : str, default 'lambertw'
        Determines the method used to calculate points on the IV curve. The
        options are ``'lambertw'``, ``'newton'``, or ``'brentq'``.

    Returns
    -------
    dict or pandas.DataFrame
        The returned dict-like object always contains the keys/columns:

        * i_sc - short circuit current in amperes.
        * v_oc - open circuit voltage in volts.
        * i_mp - current at maximum power point in amperes.
        * v_mp - voltage at maximum power point in volts.
        * p_mp - power at maximum power point in watts.
        * i_x - current, in amperes, at ``v = 0.5*v_oc``.
        * i_xx - current, in amperes, at ``v = 0.5*(v_oc+v_mp)``.

        A dict is returned when the input parameters are scalars.

    Notes
    -----
    If the method is ``'lambertw'`` then the solution employed to solve the
    implicit diode equation utilizes the Lambert W function to obtain an
    explicit function of :math:`V=f(I)` and :math:`I=f(V)` as shown in [2]_.

    If the method is ``'newton'`` then the root-finding Newton-Raphson method
    is used. It should be safe for well behaved IV-curves, but the ``'brentq'``
    method is recommended for reliability.

    If the method is ``'brentq'`` then Brent's bisection search method is used
    that guarantees convergence by bounding the voltage between zero and
    open-circuit.

def dc_ohmic_losses(resistance, current):
    r"""
    Returns ohmic losses in units of power from the equivalent
    resistance of the wires and the operating current.

    Parameters
    ----------
    resistance: numeric
        Equivalent resistance of wires. [ohm]
    current: numeric, float or array-like
        Operating current. [A]

    Returns
    ----------
    loss: numeric
        Power loss. [W]

    Notes
    -----
    Ohmic (also termed joule or heat) loss is the power lost due to current
    flowing through a conductor. Ohmic loss, :math:`L`, is computed as

    .. math::

        L = I^2 \times R

    where :math:`I` is the current (A) and :math:`R` is the resistance of the
    conductor (ohms).

def combine_loss_factors(index, *losses, fill_method='ffill'):
    r"""
    Combines Series loss fractions while setting a common index.

    The separate losses are compounded using the following equation:

    .. math::

        L_{total} = 1 - [ 1 - \Pi_i ( 1 - L_i ) ]

    :math:`L_{total}` is the total loss returned
    :math:`L_i` is each individual loss factor input

    Note the losses must each be a series with a DatetimeIndex.
    All losses will be resampled to match the index parameter using
    the fill method specified (defaults to "fill forward").

    Parameters
    ----------
    index : DatetimeIndex
        The index of the returned loss factors

    *losses : Series
        One or more Series of fractions to be compounded

    fill_method : {'ffill', 'bfill', 'nearest'}, default 'ffill'
        Method to use for filling holes in reindexed DataFrame

    Returns
    -------
    Series
        Fractions resulting from the combination of each loss factor
