“…Figure 3 shows a timeline of these meetings, along with other notable events in the project's history. Finally, it is worth pointing out that pvlib python contributors and users are part of a broader community for the pvlib software "family", which includes pvanalytics, a package for PV data quality assurance and feature recognition algorithms (Perry et al, 2022), and twoaxistracking, a package for simulating self-shading in arrays of two-axis solar trackers (Jensen et al, 2022). Moreover, looking beyond pvlib and its affiliated packages, we see that Python is proving to be the most common programming language in general for open-source PV modeling and analysis software.…”

pvlib python is a community-developed, open-source software toolbox for simulating the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy components and systems. It provides reference implementations of over 100 empirical and physics-based models from the peer-reviewed scientific literature, including solar position algorithms, irradiance models, thermal models, and PV electrical models. In addition to individual low-level model implementations, pvlib python provides high-level workflows that chain these models together like building blocks to form complete "weather-to-power" photovoltaic system models. It also provides functions to fetch and import a wide variety of weather datasets useful for PV modeling.
