To my knowledge, no special funding is currently available for this work.

Edit: oops, nevermind, see comment from @williamhobbs below A note for whoever makes these models: it's a little hard to tell, but from google street view it looks like SR_CO...

Here is a rough example model page for one system (SR_CO): https://gist.github.com/kandersolar/2ab973ea0b5d8cd45531a38c6e1fd06f Feedback is welcome. One general consideration for including this kind of example page in the docs is that...

> Why not move the gallery to it’s own repo? I guess these models could be a repository alongside the other [tutorial repositories](https://pvsc-python-tutorials.github.io/), but (1) I don't envision these to...

I like that idea a lot! That would be a fun and useful project. For now, #1985 is open for discussion. Rendered example page [here](https://pvlib-python--1985.org.readthedocs.build/en/1985/gallery/system-models/plot_oedi_9068.html).

Yep, we are definitely sloppy about making sure each PR records all of its contributors. Instead, we have a step in the [release procedure](https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/wiki/Release-procedures#final-release) to add the names of any...

> I have my doubts if applying a transient operation on the module temperature makes this any more accurate when you use satellite data? 5-minute PSM3 data is very "spiky",...

> Does, for example, a N-S SAT tracker azimuth follow the East - West direction or the torque tube? I would say the azimuth and elevation define the normal vector...

A few thoughts: - I propose renaming `tracker_shaded_fraction` to `shaded_fraction1d`. As pointed out above, the math is equally applicable to fixed-tilt arrays. And there are many ways of calculating a...
