I follow it now 😊 That inter-comparison wasn’t completed due to project funding being redirected. I have thought for quite a while that, for algorithm validation, there is a need...

Depends on how the curves were measured. From recollection, IEC61853 does not specify equipment or precise conditions beyond temperature and irradiance values. It is still important to ask how the...

Checked my copy of IEC61853-1, the intent is that the measurements reflect "AM1.5 global" spectrum from IEC60904-3. IEC61853-1 requires class BBB or better simulator, and allows for outdoor IV measurements....

I won't be at the workshop Wednesday. Let me know if you are able to meet.

I'd be willing to consider re-hosting pvfactors in the pvlib organization as its own repository, if there are committed maintainers. It's not reasonable to expect the pvlib-python maintainers to also...

That function is a convenience wrapper for four extraterrestrial irradiance models, which all differ in how the earth-Sun distance is computed. Two of the models also specify a solar constant:...

> The constant and the method to calculate sun-earth distance are independent of each other. I agree, I'm thinking to maintain consistency with the underlying reference for those two extraterrestrial...

@shirubana when sticker turns green we'll approve and run the tests.

This is a good idea. It would be nice to place the link prominently on the top half of the README page.

Confirmed: code is correct, docstring is in error.
