IEC 61853-3 Climate-specific energy rating

[toddkarin]

IEC 61853-3 describes a standard process for making an energy rating score for a given set of module parameters. We would like to use this method to rank modules starting from a PAN file. Most of the functionality needed is already in pvlib, the work would just be to stitch together and provide some examples.

It is my opinion that the pvlib group should obtain the draft work for the 2025 version of the standard, and implement a version that works with this.

Is this something the pvlib team can take on?

Thanks for providing the feature request.

IEC 61853-3 basically describes a model chain, which would fit within pvlib's structure.

Is this something the pvlib team can take on?

Contributions are welcomed from all.

Making this happen would be welcome too!
