<p>Another update to PV components:</p>
<p>Again, thanks to diligent and ingenious work by Jason Sensibaugh, it is now possible to chose from almost 14000 custom crystalline silicon and thin film modules from <a href="https://sam.nrel.gov/libraries" target="_blank">California Energy Commission Modules Library</a>, with the new "Import CEC Photovoltaics Module" component.…</p>

<p><br/>Not only USA module producers are included but also those from other countries like: China, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Germany, Australia etc.<br/>This is an addition to the previously available 500 modules from Sandia Modules Library.</p>
<p>A small .gh file example is attached below, along with CEC Modules Library file.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Previously named "Photovoltaics module" component is now called "Simplified Photovoltaics module", to distinguish itself from the new "Import CEC Photovoltaics Module" and "Import Sandia Photovoltaics Module" components.</p>
<p>So to recapitulate:<br/>The "Simplified Photovoltaics Module" component is used to define general crystalline silicon module.<br/>While new "Import Sandia Photovoltaics Module" and "Import CEC Photovoltaics Module" components enable picking a custom module from Sandia and CEC module libraries:</p>

<p>Hi Djordje,</p>
<p></p>
<p>This is amazing news! Having a library of PV modules was probably the most important thing missing, at least for me, from these wonderful tools concerning PV system analysis on real projects.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for your work!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>

<p>Up until now Ladybug Photovoltaics components have only be able to use a default-defined modules, with "Photovoltaics Module" component.<br/>Thanks to Jason Sensibaugh, now it is possible to chose more than 500 custom crystalline silicon and thin film modules from <a href="https://sam.nrel.gov/libraries" target="_blank">Sandia Modules Library</a>, with the new "Import Sandia Photovoltaics Module" component. A small example is attached below.<br/>So yes, from now on, the Ladybug Photovoltaics component supports thin-film modules as well.</p>

<p>The thermal model mentioned in the reply above should be: Sandia, instead of Fuentes.<br/>The link to the publication is correct though. Apologies for the correction.</p>
