This package aims to provide a clean, performant and barrier-free interface to the PVGIS API by the EU Science Hub.

This project is not an official project from the EU Science Hub.
Install from the Python Package Index (PyPI) using pip:
pip install pvgispy
The interface was designed to be simple and intuitive. Basic usage follows these steps:
- Choose an endpoint (Hourly, Daily, Monthly, TMY, Off-Grid, Grid-Connected)
- Get the raw data or use functionalities to calculate certain values
A basic example looks like this:
from pvgispy import Daily
daily = Daily(lat=48, lon=9, month=1)
print(daily.irradiance(as_list=True))
# --> {'G(i)': 735.33, 'Gb(i)': 223.38, 'Gd(i)': 511.95}
# Raw data
print(daily.data)Another example to get the pv solar production over a year:
from pvgispy import Hourly
hourly = Hourly(lat=51, lon=9, pvcalculation=True, loss=20, peakpower=100,
angle=0, aspect=-180, startyear=2010, endyear=2010)
print(hourly.yearly_pv_production())
