Loss Factor Model

[cbirkj]

The Loss Factor Model (LFM) is used to analyze current and voltage (I-V) curves and model system performance (Stein et al).

Similar to my last issue post, I am wondering what people's thoughts are on adding LFM parameter estimation to the PVLIB library?

Seems like a good idea to me. There are lots of papers on it.

Hi all
Just to let you know I am working on adding the LFM to PV LIB (also with Juergen Sutterlueti from Gantner Instruments) and hope to have something in a couple of weeks.

Good work! Python? or Matlab?

[steve-ransome]

Python.

Hi Steve, any progress on this?
