Engagement Statistics for FOSS PV Software

Tracking engagement for open-source software is challenging, but engagement statistics are helpful in securing development and maintenance funding.

This website summarizes datasets like GitHub star count and ReadTheDocs page view analytics for several open-source software packages in the solar photovoltaics space.

pvlib-python

pvlib-python is a package for simulating the electrical performance of solar photovoltaic power systems.

rdtools

RdTools is an open-source library to support reproducible technical analysis of time series data from photovoltaic energy systems.

pvanalytics

PVAnalytics is a python library that supports analytics for PV systems. It provides functions for quality control, filtering, feature labeling, and other tools.

pvcaptest

pvcaptest is intended to facilitate capacity testing following ASTM E2848 - Standard Test Method for Reporting Photovoltaic Non-Concentrator System Performance.

twoaxistracking

twoaxistracking is a python package for simulating two-axis tracking solar collectors, particularly self-shading.

panel-segmentation

Panel-Segmentation is a package for automated metadata extraction of solar PV installations using satellite imagery coupled with computer vision techniques.

bifacial_radiance

bifacial_radiance is a toolkit for working with RADIANCE for the ray-trace modeling of bifacial photovoltaic systems.

bifacialvf

bifacialvf is a 2-D viewfactor model for modeling front- and rear-side irradiance in solar PV arrays.

pvfactors

pvfactors is a 2-D viewfactor model for simulating front- and rear-side irradiance by accounting for all reflections between surfaces.

PVMismatch

An explicit IV & PV curve trace calculator for PV system circuits.

PV_ICE

An open-source tool to quantify Solar Photovoltaics (PV) Energy and Mass Flows in the Circular Economy, from a Reliability and Lifetime approach.

openpvtools

A catalog of open source tools for solar energy.

pySMARTS

Python wrapper for SMARTS2, Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine

solarfactors

solarfactors is a maintained fork of pvfactors, a 2-D viewfactor model for simulating front- and rear-side irradiances by accounting for all reflections between surfaces.
