Fluent Assertions Faces Backlash After Abandoning Open Source Licensing
Fluent Assertions is facing backlash after dropping the Apache license for a commercial model, leaving users blindsided and questioning contributor rights.
PV-Module is a Python library which focus is to simulate photovoltaic systems. This module can simulate both Monofacial & Bifacial modules.
Use the package manager pip to install foobar.
pip install pvmodule
Using the city name, this method will geolocate its coordinates, elevation, timezone. To use costum locations, just input the desired parameters and they will overwrite the geolocation.
Parameters
----------
city: str
The name of the city in which the system is going to be built.
latitude: float, default = None,
A specific latitude to overwrite the automatic search.
longitude: float, default = None,
A specific longitude to overwrite the automatic search.
elevation: float, default = None,
A specific elevation to overwrite the automatic search.
This elevation corresponds to how many meters the city is above the sea-level.
timezone: str, default = None,
The timezone in which the city is located.
A specific timezone to overwrite the automatic search.
name: str, default = None,
The name of the system. This does not affect anything.
>>> from pvmodule.location import Location
>>> Location = Location()
>>> location = Location.set_location('Lisbon')
>>> print(location.get_info())
{
'Address': 'Lisboa, Portugal',
'Latitude': 38.7077507,
'Longitude': -9.1365919,
'Elevation': 10.93380069732666,
'Timezone': 'Europe/Lisbon'
}
To retrieve a list of 17000+ PV modules the following method can be used with the following parameters.
Parameters
----------
url : str, default = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabio-r-almeida/pvmodule/main/PV_Modules.csv'
Url to the list of modules. Can also be a .csv file.
wattage : int, default = None
Filter modules by a desired Wattage
BIPV : str, default = None, default values allows both bi-facial and mono-facial modules to appear in the list
Filter modules by bi-facial or monofacial modules
Bi-facial = 'Y'
Mono-facial = 'N'
