What kind of packages are welcome here?

[kandersolar]

Is this list a home for any and all PV-related packages, or is the scope more focused on outdoor systems? For example I just stumbled across solcore, which is on the other end of the spectrum and focuses on low-level semiconductor modeling. Just curious -- it seems like a fairly mature package that I hadn't heard of before, so I wondered if advertising it here is within scope.

My vote is any and all.

@dalonsoa -- Just pinging you in case you're interested adding any projects to the openpvtools list (see https://openpvtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

@kanderso-nrel , thank you very much for drawing my attention to this. It is a wonderful resource for the PV community, no matter what end of the (solar) spectrum they work 😃 ! I'll add Solcore to the openpvtools list as soon as possible.

As a related note, Solcore is a NumFOCUS affiliated project (scroll down to find us), as it is PVLib, and we recently got a small development grant from them. We are about to release - hopefully before the end of the year - a brand new Solcore version (v6) with lots, and lots of improvements, specially for contributors-to-be and to improve its sustainability and traceability of the results.
