solarpy.iotools.write_t16(filename, data, meta, lines=None, missing=None, encoding='utf-8')#

Write a time series DataFrame to a file in the IEA PVPS T16 format.

Parameters:

  • filename (str or path-like) – Path to the output file.

  • data (pandas.DataFrame) – Time series data with a timezone-aware DatetimeIndex; the index is converted to UTC before extracting Year/Month/Day/Hour/Minute. Column names are written as-is to the header row.

  • meta (dict) –

    Station metadata. Recognised keys (either short or long form):

    • "latitude" or "latitude deg N"

    • "longitude" or "longitude deg E"

    • "altitude" or "altitude in m amsl"

    • "stationcode" (optional)

  • lines (list of str or None, default None) – Additional lines written to the header after the location metadata, each prefixed with "# ". If None, no extra lines are written.

  • missing (str or None, default None) – String written in place of missing (NaN) values. None leaves the cell empty.

  • encoding (str, default "utf-8") – File encoding passed to open().
