[SciPy-User] ANN: pvlib-0.8.1 released

[Dr. Mark Alexander Mikofski PhD]

Hi Edward,

Thanks so much for your feedback!

Yes, pvlib already uses the SciPy special Lambert-W function to solve the
single diode equation. Please see the documentation:

* theory: https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/singlediode.html
* Examples:
https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/auto_examples/plot_singlediode.html
* api:
https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/generated/pvlib.pvsystem.singlediode.html

And check the source:
* https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/blob/master/pvlib/singlediode.py
* https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/blob/master/pvlib/ivtools/sdm.py

pvlib has only implemented published models, so it has only Desoto, CEC,
SAM, and PVsyst models which haven't considered capacitance or inductance.
But we would be interested in any publications you have on pv modeling and
any pull request you'd like to contribute. Perhaps consider putting on the
pvlib Google group? https://groups.google.com/g/pvlib-python

Thanks again!
Mark
