**PASE** is designed to simulate an agrivoltaic system, calculating both photovoltaic and agricultural outputs. It leverages the HDKR model to compute the global tilted irradiance on the PV panels and uses a ray casting algorithm to estimate the light reaching crops beneath the panels. These irradiance data are then used with crop models to simulate crop growth and yield.

You can try it easily on the Binder instance (no installation required) by
running the "tutorial" notebooks (files are named `tutorial_*.ipynb`) :
