PVSC48-Python-Tutorial\nPVSC48 computing tutorial with focus on PV computing packages, Python, data\nwrangling with Pandas, and data viz\n\n## Tutorial Summary:\n* **Tutorial 0**: Introduction to the tutorial, the lesson plan, and resources (~30 minutes)\n* **Tutorial 1**: Access TMY weather data and visualize monthly irradiance data (~30 minutes)\n* **Tutorial 2**: Calculate solar position, plane-of-array irradiance, and\n  visualize average daily insolation (30 minutes)\n* **Tutorial 3**: Estimate module temperature from ambient (~20 minutes)\n* **Tutorial 4**: Use POA irradiance and module temperature to model output power\n  from a single module (~20 minutes)\n* **Tutorial 5**: Combine modules to form strings, calculate inverter efficiency\n  and total array output (~independent study)\n* **Tutorials Appendices**: More tutorials on a variety of fun topics (~independent study)\n\n## Tutorial Setup\nThese tutorials are designed to run on [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org), a\nbrowser based interactive notebook that allows you to run the tutorial in the\ncloud without any additional setup. On the day of the tutorial, you can log\ninto the tutorial [here](https://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/).\n\n### THIS IS A 2-STEP PROCESS\n\n- **STEP 1**: click [this](https://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/) --\u003e https://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/\n- **STEP 2**: click [this](https://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/hub/user-redirect/git-pull?repo=https://github.com/PVSC-Python-Tutorials/PVSC48-Python-Tutorial\u0026branch=main) --\u003e https://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/hub/user-redirect/git-pull?repo=https://github.com/PVSC-Python-Tutorials/PVSC48-Python-Tutorial\u0026branch=main\n\nThe first time you visit the tutorial, you will need to create an account. Use\nany username and password you like.\n\n![jupyter login](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1385621/119911747-c9bd3600-bf0e-11eb-8f7b-c622d8890f04.png)\n\nThe first time you log into the tutorial, you will only see the scratch and shared-data folders.\n\n![first login](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1385621/119912003-5cf66b80-bf0f-11eb-874d-67ba2ff1bb66.png)\n\nAfter you log in, you need to download the tutorial from this GitHub repository by following this\n[link](https://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/hub/user-redirect/git-pull?repo=https://github.com/PVSC-Python-Tutorials/PVSC48-Python-Tutorial\u0026branch=main):\n\nYou only need to download the repository once, but you can always use either link to start the tutorial during the conference.\nFrom now on you will see the PVSC48-Python-Tutorial folder in the list.\n\n![download tutorial](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1385621/119912192-ce361e80-bf0f-11eb-8f62-36e54509fdcc.png)\n\nClick the folder to open, and you'll see the full list. Click `Tutorial 0 - Overview.ipynb` to get started.\n\n![full list of tutorials](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1385621/119912314-15241400-bf10-11eb-8a2c-1fc371e0f4e8.png)\n\nSometimes, if you are idle too long, the tutorial dies. Just click the [link to the tutorial](https://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/) again to reconnect.\n\nhttps://pvsc-python-tutorial.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/\n\n### Jupyter Book docs\n\nThe full tutorial is now also hosted as a beautiful [Jupyter book](https://jupyterbook.org/intro.html). This book has navigation, search, and can even run code cells interactively. Check it out!\n\nhttps://pvsc-python-tutorials.github.io/PVSC48-Python-Tutorial/index.html\n\n### My Binder\n\nAfter the conference the tutorials will remain available here on GitHub, and you can run\nthe tutorial anytime in [Binder](https://mybinder.org) by clicking the\nfollowing link:\n\n[![Binder](https://mybinder.org/badge_logo.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/PVSC-Python-Tutorials/PVSC48-Python-Tutorial/main)\n\n### Locally\n\nYou can also run the tutorial locally with\n[miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) by following thes\nsteps:\n\n1. Install [miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html).\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n   ```\n   git clone https://github.com/PVSC-Python-Tutorials/PVSC48-Python-Tutorial.git\n   ```\n\n1. Create the environment and install the requirements. The repository includes\n   a `requirements.txt` file that contains a list the packages needed to run\n   this tutorial. To install them using conda run:\n\n   ```\n   conda create -n pvsc48 jupyter -c pvlib --file requirements.txt\n   conda activate pvsc48\n   ```\n\n1. Start a Jupyter session:\n\n   ```\n   jupyter notebook\n   ```\n\n1. Use the file explorer in Jupyter lab to browse to `PVSC48-Python-Tutorial`\n   and start the first Tutorial.\n\n\n### Licensing\n\n\u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis work is licensed under a \u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\"\u003eCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License\u003c/a\u003e.\n","funding_links":[],"readme_doi_urls":[],"works":{},"citation_counts":{},"total_citations":0,"keywords_from_contributors":["photovoltaic","renewable-energy","renewables","solar-energy","bifacial","radiance"],"project_url":"https://ost.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/308084","html_url":"https://ost.ecosyste.ms/projects/308084"}
