History and acknowledgement

pvlib python began in 2013 as a Python translation of the PVLIB for Matlab toolbox developed by Sandia National Laboratories. pvlib python has grown substantially since then. Today it contains code contributions from over a hundred individuals worldwide and is maintained by a core group of PV modelers from a variety of institutions.

pvlib has been supported directly and indirectly by DOE, NumFOCUS, and Google Summer of Code funding, university research projects, companies that allow their employees to contribute, and from personal time.
