Package: pvmodule
PV-ModulePV-Module is a Python library which focus is to simulate photovoltaic systems.
This module can simulate both Monofacial & Bifacial modules.InstallationUse the package managerpipto install foobar.pipinstallpvmoduleUsageUsage - LocationUsing 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.>>>frompvmodule.locationimportLocation>>>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'}Usage - PV Module SelectionTo retrieve a list of 17000+ PV modules the following method can be used with the following parameters.Parameters
----------

	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
