API field

Ambient temperature

Air temperature, per interval

Unit °C

What it is

The air temperature averaged over each interval, in degrees Celsius. It sets the module temperature, and a warmer module produces less power.

Typical values and how to get it

The values come from the uploaded file. Values the upload fills in: a file without a temperature column gets 15 °C at every timestep, and the parse report says so; a missing value, or one at −90 °C or below, takes the previous timestep's value (15 °C before the first valid one), and the report counts them.
