additional/minor changes:

  • new help file system (compatible with Windows 7)
  • new default AM1.5 spectrum: "ASTM G173-03 Reference Spectra Derived from SMARTS v. 2.9.2"
  • default solver: SparLin
  • n_optical=1 as default

minor minor changes:

  • new default parameters for 1D model

Version 2.4.1:

  • calculation of I-V curves according to 1-diode model
  • Optics: Lambert-Beer Absorption with multiple passes through the layer stack
