pvon

Jupyter notebooks for using the photovoltaic library.

Usage

The easiest way to view and run the notebooks is with Google Colab

Google Colab

Colab is free with a Google account. Login to a Google account and then click one of the links below. It should load and run.

basics

solar_position

solar_radiation

solar_cell

solar_cell_IV_curves

semiconductor

antireflection

Alternatively, insert tocolab just after github in the link so: https://github.com/pvedu/pvon/blob/master/solar_position.ipynb becomes: https://githubtocolab.com/pvedu/pvon/blob/master/solar_position.ipynb

Binder

Binder is slower to get started than colab but it loads everything and does not need an account. To use click on: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/pvedu/pvon/master The files are first loaded for viewing. A run-time environment automatically loads after 30 seconds.

Download

If you are not familiar with github, click on the Code button, and then click on Download ZIP.

Installing Python

Downloading the files requires a python install. There's a gazillion ways to install python. I do the basics on Windows:

• install python https://www.python.org/downloads/
• pip install numpy
• pip install scipy
• pip install matplotlib
• pip install jupyter-lab
• pip install photovoltaic

Other options are with Anaconda etc.
