Here's are two things that would be nice to have in the docs, derived largely or entirely from conversation with @spaneja: ## Relevant class methods don't have their own docs...
It would be a minor convenience if `BasePVArray.plot_at_idx` could generate its own pyplot Axes object instead of forcing the user to pass one in. I don't mind keeping it as...
Currently there is nothing stopping a user from specifying an array much wider than it is tall and proceeding to model it at steep tilts that cause the lower module...
It seems like there are two sets of equivalent notebooks: - https://github.com/SunPower/pvfactors/tree/master/docs/tutorials - https://github.com/SunPower/pvfactors/tree/master/docs/sphinx/tutorials On first glance it seems like the notebook contents are identical, with the exception of `pvfactors_demo.ipynb`...
PVEngine creates a mask indicating values that need not be considered in the calculation: https://github.com/SunPower/pvfactors/blob/21d48655ce6acd3ab1955f98212cbdd3e3cc8351/pvfactors/engine.py#L170-L175 However, that mask is not actually used anywhere today. It used to be, but it...
By adjusting the `gcr`, `pvrow_width`, and `n_pvrows` inputs it is possible to simulate arrays covering an arbitrarily large distance. For typical inputs (e.g. `n_pvrows=3`, `pvrow_width=4`, `gcr=0.4`), the spanned distance is...
Changing the `horizon_band_angle` input to `HybridPerezOrdered` doesn't seem to affect front-side irradiance nearly as much as it does rear-side. Code to reproduce: ```python from pvfactors.geometry import OrderedPVArray from pvfactors.engine import...
As always I will preface this by saying I'm not a frequent pvfactors user or even someone that has read the pvfactors PVSC paper, so there's a chance this is...
At the suggestion of @shirubana, here is a PR that does several things: 1) Switches from the readthedocs sphinx theme to the pydata sphinx theme (what pvlib currently uses). Subjectively...
