pip install pypv

What is it?

pypv is a state-of-the-art Python library designed to empower engineers and developers in the field of solar energy. This library simplifies the use of complex physical models, making it easier to calculate key solar parameters and optimize solar energy systems.

Key Features

Here's a simple example of how to use the calculate method:

from pypv import PvSystem

# Config module and inverter
pv_module = PvModule(
    p_max=545,
    vmp=41.8,
    imp=13.09,
    voc=49.65,
    isc=13.92,
    efficiency=21.1,
    p_max_coefficient=-0.35,
    voc_coefficient=-0.27,
    isc_coefficient=0.048,
)

pv_inverter = PvInverter(
    start_voltage=90,
    max_voltage=600,
    nominal_voltage=360,
    nominal_power=5,
    efficiency=98,
    max_pv_power=6.5,
    MPPTs=[
        MPPT(min_voltage=90, max_voltage=560, isc=15, dc_inputs=1),
        MPPT(min_voltage=90, max_voltage=560, isc=15, dc_inputs=1),
    ],
)

# Creating an instance of PvSystem
pv_system = PvSystem(pv_module=pv_module, pv_inverter=pv_inverter, target_power=6, max_temperature=75, min_temperature=0)
pv_system.calculate()

# Displaying the results
PvSystem(inverter_quantity=2, ROS=0.8333333333333334, layouts=[Layout(line_quantity=2, modules_per_line=6), Layout(line_quantity=2, modules_per_line=5)])
