PVtools provides open source software related to photovoltaics. This page is the github repo for the pvtools Heroku app built in plotly dash.
The pvtools package contains multiple different applications for photovoltaics. These include:
- String Length Calculator. Method for calculating the maximum allowable string length for a photovoltaic system.
- index.py - Homepage for pvtools website. To run the app, run this script.
- string_length_calculator.py - Page for calculating string length.
We take privacy seriously.
We use coralogix to log basic usage information. This allows us to determine how many unique users have accessed the site.
We also log each time the 'calculate' button is pressed, but do not record any metadata about the system design.
- Change name of mean yearly min drybulb to exactly correspond to NEC.
- Document!
- Remove mapbox access token from code.
- Add click callback for map.
- Fix references.
- Jinja2 ~> 2.10.1. to fix security vulnerability.
In order to set up this application in Heroku, we followed the Heroku install instructions but deleted the following lines from requirements.txt:
functools32==3.2.3.post2
futures==3.2.0
