PVRADAR Python Package

PVRADAR’s python package allows performance engineers and scientists take control and build your own models with full flexibility and transparency.

Model losses and gains with unprecedented control

• Start by defining your model as a simple Python function in a Jupyter notebook. Specify the inputs, required units, and data sources.
• Run your model for any location worldwide — PVRADAR automatically imports or calculates the required inputs, so you don’t have to worry about sourcing or formatting data.
• Embed your model in a broader context to assess the impact of (e.g. soiling) losses not only on DC production, but all the way down to grid energy, revenues, and financial metrics.
• Everything is open-source: review the source code of any model — upstream or downstream — and replace components with your own models or measured data whenever needed.

Automatically retrieve consistent data from satellites, meteo stations, and field measurements

• Access data from ERA5, MERRA-2, NOAA, MODIS, and more — with a single line of code
• Specify your preferred format, unit, and time resolution — no more time wasted on data wrangling
• Easily compare data from different sources and validate against field measurements for an informed selection

Fit model parameters based on real data

• Model validation is everything — that’s why PVRADAR is building the world’s largest database of PV-related measurements. We already provide access to over 100 soiling datasets from locations around the world
• Use the PVRADAR Python package to access this data and optimize model parameters for any location worldwide
• Convenient functions allow you to include your own field measurements or SCADA data with ease — and since everything runs locally, your data stays private

Elevate your work with our complementary services

To kick-start your development or help you reach your goals, PVRADAR offers:

• Custom libraries and digital twins that help you embed your models in a broader context
• Integrate your internal data - make everything available with a single line of code
• Local installation of our model engine to turn any script into an API or connect it to a custom web application
