History and acknowledgement
pvlib python began in 2013 as a Python translation of the PVLIB for Matlab
toolbox developed by Sandia National Laboratories. pvlib python has grown substantially since then.
Today it contains code contributions from over a hundred individuals worldwide
and is maintained by a core group of PV modelers from a variety of institutions.
pvlib has been supported directly and indirectly by DOE, NumFOCUS, and
Google Summer of Code funding, university research projects,
companies that allow their employees to contribute, and from personal time.
NumFOCUS
pvlib python is a NumFOCUS Affiliated Project
