Photovoltaic Module JSON-LD

Photovoltaic (PV) Modules JSON-LD Description

This json-ld template is used to store metadata information commonly used to describe photovoltaic (PV) Modules. There is information included on the cells, encapsulant, backsheet, electrical properties, and module dimensions.

Note that a lot of the material included in this json pulls from the OrangeButton Taxonomy.

# An example data frame for PV Modules
module_example <- data.frame('CellTechnologyType' = c('PERC', 'Al-BSF'),
                            'CellMaterial' = c('mono-crystalline', 'poly-crystalline'),
                            'EncapsulantMaterial' = c('EVA', 'POE'),
                            'BacksheetMaterial' = c('PVF', 'PET'),
                            'BacksheetColor' = c('White', 'Black'),

                            'J_Box' = c('IP68', 'IP70')) # base template, but they still have a spot!

# This will generate JSON-LD file for the example data
output <- fairify_data(module_example, domain = 'PVModule', saveLocal = TRUE)
