Solcore
Solcore was born as a modular set of tools, written (almost) entirely in Python 3, to address some of the task we had to solve more. With time, however, it has evolved as a complete semiconductor solver able of modelling the optical and electrical properties of a wide range of solar cells, from quantum well devices to multi-junction solar cells.
Please, visit [Solcore's Documentation](http://dalonsoa.github.io/solcore5), the [Tutorial](docs/source/tutorial.md) for a step-by-step example of how to use Solcore to model a solar cell and also check the [Examples folder](examples) for more specific information and examples of usage.

Contributors
Solcore is the result of many years of developement by many people, trying to put together in a consistent way the tools that the [Quantum Photovoltaics Group at Imperial College London](https://www.imperial.ac.uk/quantum-photovoltaics/) needs for its research in solar cells and photovoltaics. The list of contributors (hopefully I am not forgetting anyone!) is:
Diego Alonso-Álvarez
Thomas Wilson
Phoebe Pearce
Markus Führer
Daniel Farrel
Tomos Thomas
Alvin Chan
Ned Ekins-Daukes
