- The deprecated
pvlib.modelchain.basic_chainhas now been removed. (:pull:`1862`) - Remove the
poa_horizontal_ratiofunction and all of its references. (:issue:`1697`, :pull:`2021`) - Updated ~pvlib.iotools.MIDC_VARIABLE_MAP`~ to reflect changes in instrumentation. (:pull:`2006)
pvlib.iotools.read_srml_month_from_solardatwas deprecated in v0.10.0 and has now been completely removed. The function is replaced by :py:func:`~pvlib.iotools.get_srml()`. (:pull:`1779`, :pull:`1989`)- The
leap_dayparameter in :py:func:`~pvlib.iotools.get_psm3` now defaults to True instead of False. (:issue:`1481`, :pull:`1991`) - :py:func:`~pvlib.iotools.get_psm3`, :py:func:`~pvlib.iotools.read_psm3`, and
:py:func:`~pvlib.iotools.parse_psm3` all now have
map_variables=Trueby default. (:issue:`1425`, :pull:`2094`) - The deprecated
ivcurve_pntsparameter of :py:func:`pvlib.pvsystem.singlediode` is removed. Use :py:func:`pvlib.pvsystem.v_from_i` and :py:func:`pvlib.pvsystem.i_from_v` instead. (:pull:`2101`)
- The
pvlib.irradiance.SURFACE_ALBEDOSdictionary has been moved to :py:const:`pvlib.albedo.SURFACE_ALBEDOS`. (:pull:`2095`) - Function :py:func:`pvlib.spectrum.get_am15g` has been deprecated in favor
of the new function :py:func:`pvlib.spectrum.get_reference_spectra`. Use
pvlib.spectrum.get_reference_spectra(standard="ASTM G173-03")["global"]instead. (:pull:`2039`)
- Add a simple transformer efficiency model :py:func:`pvlib.transformer.simple_efficiency`. (:issue:`1269`, :pull:`2053`)
- Add function :py:func:`pvlib.shading.shaded_fraction1d`, to calculate the
shade perpendicular to
axis_azimuth. The function is applicable to both fixed-tilt and one-axis tracking systems. (:issue:`1689`, :pull:`1725`, :pull:`1962`) - Add function :py:func:`pvlib.albedo.inland_water_dvoracek`, to calculate the albedo for inland water bodies. (:pull:`2079`)
- Added conversion functions from spectral response ([A/W]) to quantum efficiency ([unitless]) and vice versa. The conversion functions are :py:func:`pvlib.spectrum.sr_to_qe` and :py:func:`pvlib.spectrum.qe_to_sr` respectively. (:issue:`2040`, :pull:`2041`)
- Add function :py:func:`pvlib.spectrum.spectral_factor_pvspec`, which calculates the spectral mismatch factor as a function of absolute airmass and clearsky index using the PVSPEC model. (:issue:`1950`, :issue:`2065`, :pull:`2072`)
- Add function :py:func:`pvlib.spectrum.spectral_factor_jrc`, which calculates the spectral mismatch factor as a function of airmass and clearsky index using the JRC model. (:issue:`1950`, :issue:`2065`, :issue:`2087`, :pull:`2088`)
- Added extraterrestrial and direct spectra of the ASTM G173-03 standard with the new function :py:func:`pvlib.spectrum.get_reference_spectra`. (:issue:`1963`, :pull:`2039`)
- Added function :py:func:`pvlib.shading.direct_martinez` to calculate shading losses by taking into account the amount of bypass diodes of a module. (:issue:`2063`, :pull:`2070`)
- Add function :py:func:`pvlib.irradiance.diffuse_par_spitters` to calculate the diffuse fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) from the global diffuse fraction and the solar zenith. (:issue:`2047`, :pull:`2048`)
- Default altitude in :py:class:`pvlib.location.Location` now comes from :py:func:`~pvlib.location.lookup_altitude` (:issue:`1516`, :pull:`1850`)
- Configure mathjax to left-align and indent equations in docstrings. (:pull:`2056`)
