Quickstart

This is an example of modeling systems annual performance with no shade.

from solpy import pv
import json

jsonstring = """
{"system_name":"System Name",
    "zipcode":"17601",
    "tilt":34,
    "azimuth":180,
    "phase":1,
    "voltage":240,
    "array":[
        {"inverter":"SMA America: SB6000US 240V",
        "panel":"Mage Solar : USA Powertec Plus 250-6 MNCS",
        "series":14,
        "parallel":2}
        ]
    }"""

plant = pv.json_system(json.loads(jsonstring))
print plant.model()
#Year 1 Annual _output: 8395.12 kWh

Annual Output can be plotted.

Annual output can also be charted.

It is also possible to do some basic forecasting using NOAA GFS or forecast.io
