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 on the usage of functions are located in the "docs > Tutorials" folder.
We also have documentation in ReadTheDocs where you can find more details on the API functions.
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 PVDegradationTools
For developer installation, download the repository, navigate to the folder location and install as:
pip install -e .
