NREL-PySAM 2.0

National Renewable Energy Laboratory's System Advisor Model Python Wrapper

Documentation here: https://pysam-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

• Provides a wrapper around the SAM library that groups together the C API functions by technology or financial model into modules.
• Includes error-checking, explicit input and output definition, and conversion between Python data types.
• PySAM modules are compatible with PySSC, which is included as a subpackage. PySSC is the original wrapper used by SAM's code generator.
• Automatically assign default values to input parameters from SAM's default value database.
• Built-in documentation of models and parameters.
• Minimum Python 3.5 for Windows 7 64-bit, MacOSX 10.6, or CentOS 5.
