# PV Degradation Tools (pvdeg)
This repository contains functions for calculating degradation of photovoltaic modules. For example, functions to calculate front and rear relative Humidity, as well as Acceleration Factors. A degradation calculation function is also being developed, considering humidity and spectral irradiances models.
Tutorials
=========
### Jupyter Book
For in depth Tutorials you can run online, see our [jupyter-book](https://nrel.github.io/PVDegradationTools/intro.html) [](https://nrel.github.io/PVDegradationTools/intro.html)
Clicking on the rocket-icon on the top allows you to launch the journals on [Google Colaboratory](https://colab.research.google.com/) for interactive mode.
Just uncomment the first line `pip install ...` to install the environment on each journal if you follow this mode.
### Binder
To run these tutorials in Binder, you can click here:
[](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/NREL/PVDegradationTools/main)
It takes a minute to load the environment.
### Locally
You can also run the tutorial locally in a virtual environment, i.e., `venv` or
[miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html).
1. Create and activate a new environment, e.g., on Mac/Linux terminal with `venv`:
```
python -m venv pvdeg
. pvdeg/bin/activate
```
or with `conda`:
```
conda create -n pvdeg
conda activate pvdeg
```
1. Install `pvdeg` into the new environment with `pip`:
```
python -m pip install pvdeg
```
1. Start a Jupyter session:
```
jupyter notebook
```
1. Use the file explorer in Jupyter lab to browse to `tutorials`
and start the first Tutorial.
Documentation
=============
Documentation is available in [ReadTheDocs](https://PVDegradationTools.readthedocs.io) where you can find more details on the API functions.
Installation
============
Relative Humidity and Acceleration Factors for Solar Modules releases may be installed using the ``pip`` and ``conda`` tools. Compatible with Python 3.5 and above.
Install with:
pip install pvdeg
For developer installation, clone the repository, navigate to the folder location and install as:
pip install -e .[all]
