immediate priorities

1. due date for proposals is Feb 5th, target date is mid-January
2. NumFOCUS GSoC 2020 Coordinator: Mridul Seth [email protected]
3. examples of other proposals here: https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3/wiki/GSoC-2020-projects
4. official Google guidelines here: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list

from official guidelines:

Each project on the Ideas list should include:

• more detailed description of the project (2-5 sentences)
• expected outcomes
• skills required/preferred
• possible mentors. And if possible, an easy, medium or hard rating of each project.

Ideas

Project Title: Create library of usage examples

Project Description: pvlib-python documentation lacks a set of examples that show how pvlib-python can be used for several common use cases in PV power system modeling. Mentors will provide descriptions of the use cases and guidance on the modeling process and content of pvlib-python.

Expected Outcomes: The primary outcome is a set of iPython notebooks. A secondary outcome is to identify how pvlib-python can be improved for usability and flexibility.

Skills Required / Preferred: iPython (required), experience with solar power modeling (desired but not required)

Mentors: Cliff Hansen, Mark Mikofski, Will Holmgren

Difficulty: Medium

mentors

past projects (matplotlib) have observed that each student may need have 2-3 mentors.

1. Will Holmgren
2. Cliff Hansend
3. Mark Mikofski
