py3samsdk

Python 2/3 wrapper for NREL's System Advisor Model SDK.

At the moment, this package is compatible with the January 17, 2017 SAM SDK release. The core interface is a modified version of NREL's Python 2 API.

Using the package

• Install the NREL System SAM SDK
• Find the system library (ssc.dylib, ssc.so, ssc.dll) and copy to your Python path
• Install the py3samsdk package

from py3samsdk import PySSC

ssc_lib = './ssc.dylib'  # path to SAM SSC Library
ssc = PySSC(ssc_lib)

Running tests

Note that the ssc_lib must be inside the root package directory for the tests to pick up the module.

Notes

• The API package API may change rapidly.
• Some scheduled improvements are to improve the library path mechanism and to set up continuous testing/integration.
