From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

Dear Pythonistas and solar power enthusiasts,

On behalf of the maintainers, we're happy to announce a new release of
pvlib python:
software for simulating performance of photovoltaic solar energy systems.

*See what's new for v0.9.1:*
* https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/whatsnew.html

*Releases are available from PyPI and the conda-forge channel:*
* https://pypi.org/project/pvlib/
* https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pvlib-python

*Read the Documentation:*
* https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html

*Report issues & contribute:*
* https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python

*Highlights:*
** *Beautifully updated documentation theme that is easier to browse and navigate. Please share your feedback!
* Implementation of pvlib.temperature.prilliman <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.temperature.prilliman.html#pvlib.temperature.prilliman>,
a transient weighted moving-average temperature model by Prilliman, *et al.*, to calculate back of module temperature from high-frequency sub-hourly irradiance input to account for different characteristic timescales between heat transfer and power conversion.
* New infinite sheds model for either bifacial or monofacial modules, that calculates row-to-row shading and view factors for sky and ground reflected diffuse irradiance. Use pvlib.bifacial.infinite_sheds.get_irradiance <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.bifacial.infinite_sheds.get_irradiance.html#pvlib.bifacial.infinite_sheds.get_irradiance>
to calculate the plane of array irradiance, all its components on both
front and back sides, and the total from both sides.

*The maintainers thank you for using pvlib python!*
