Agrivoltaics.Fixed — Type
Fixed(
    position::GeometryBasics.Point{3,T}
    panel_dimensions::Tuple{T,T}
    inclination::T
    panel_height::T
    ref_mesh_panel::GeometryBasics.Mesh
)

Structure for a fixed structure.

Arguments

  • position::GeometryBasics.Point{3,T}: Position of the structure.
  • panel_dimensions::Tuple{Float64,Float64}: Dimensions of the solar panel: (width, height).
  • inclination::Float64: Panel inclination.
  • panel_height::Float64: Height of the panel.
  • ref_mesh_panel::GeometryBasics.Mesh: Reference mesh for the panel.

Example

s = Fixed(
    position=Point3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
    panel_dimensions=(1.0, 4.0),
    inclination=25.0,
    panel_height=4.0,
