History and acknowledgement
===========================

pvlib python started out as a Python translation of the PVLIB MATLAB
toolbox (developed by the [PVPMC](https://pvpmc.sandia.gov/) at
Sandia National Laboratories) in 2013 and has grown substantially since then.
Today it contains code contributions from over a hundred individuals worldwide
and is maintained by a core group of PV modelers from a variety of institutions.

pvlib has been supported directly and indirectly by DOE, NumFOCUS, and
Google Summer of Code funding, university research projects,
companies that allow their employees to contribute, and from personal time.
