pySMARTS: SMARTS Python Wrapper (Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine)

RESOURCE

Abstract

The pySMARTS module contains functions for calling SMARTS: Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine, from NREL, developed by Dr. Christian Gueymard. SMARTS software can be obtained from: https://www.nrel.gov/grid/solar-resource/smarts.html Users will be responsible to obtain a copy of SMARTS from NREL, honor it's license, and download the SMART files into their PVLib folder. This wrapper is shared under a BSD-3-Clause License, and was originally coded in Matlab by Juan Russo (2001), updated and ported to python by Silvana Ayala (2019-2020).
