SolPOC v0.9.7

SolPOC (Solar Performance Optimization Code) is a simple and fast code running under Python 3.9. The following Zenodo correspond to the version 0.9.7, update the 14 october 2025

This Python code designed to solve Maxwell's equations in a multilayered thin film structure. The code is specifically designed for research in coatings, thin film deposition, and materials research for solar energy applications (thermal and PV). The code uses a stable method to quickly calculate reflectivity, transmissivity, and absorptivity from a stack of thin films over a full solar spectrum. SolPOC comes with several optimization methods, a multiprocessing pool, and a comprehensive database of refractive indices for real materials. In the end, SolPOC is simple to use for no-coder users thanks to main script, which regroup all necessary variables and automatically save important results in text files and PNG images.
