pvlib python is a community developed toolbox that provides a set of

functions and classes for simulating the performance of photovoltaic

energy systems and accomplishing related tasks.  The core mission of pvlib python is to provide open,

reliable, interoperable, and benchmark implementations of PV system models.

History and acknowledgement

===========================

pvlib python began in 2013 as a Python translation of the [PVLIB for Matlab](https://github.com/sandialabs/MATLAB_PV_LIB)

toolbox developed by Sandia National Laboratories. pvlib python has grown substantially since then.

Today it contains code contributions from over a hundred individuals worldwide

and is maintained by a core group of PV modelers from a variety of institutions.

pvlib has been supported directly and indirectly by DOE, NumFOCUS, and

Google Summer of Code funding, university research projects,

companies that allow their employees to contribute, and from personal time.

NumFOCUS

========

pvlib python is a [NumFOCUS Affiliated Project](https://numfocus.org/sponsored-projects/affiliated-projects)
