Solcore
Solcore was born as a modular set of tools, written (almost) entirely in Python 3, to address some of the task we had to solve more. With time, however, it has evolved as a complete semiconductor solver able of modelling the optical and electrical properties of a wide range of solar cells, from quantum well devices to multi-junction solar cells.
Please, visit Solcore's Documentation, the Tutorial for a step-by-step example of how to use Solcore to model a solar cell and also check the Examples folder for more specific information and examples of usage.
If you would like to be kept up to date on (important) releases and new features, please join the Solcore/RayFlare mailing list here.
