latitude : float

Latitude of the Site in decimal degrees north of the equator, e.g. 36.62373

well_known_text: str, optional

Describes a geometric area for a Site which may be physically extended, e.g. a polygon over a city for a Site that describes many distributed generation PV systems.

extra_parameters : str, optional

The extra parameters may be used by forecasters when implementing other PV models. The framework does not provide a standard set of extra parameters or require a particular format – these are up to the site owner.
