"""
A class to assess and size photovoltaic (PV) systems for buildings.
This class provides methods for sizing PV systems on rooftops, calculating their energy output,
assigning system components from a catalog, and evaluating grid-tied systems. It also allows for
CSV output of system results.
Attributes:
building (Building): The building for which the PV system is being assessed.
pv_system (PvSystem): The photovoltaic system used in the assessment.
battery (EnergyStorageSystem): The energy storage system associated with the PV system, if any.
tilt_angle (float): The tilt angle of the PV system.
solar_angles (DataFrame): Solar angles used in simulation (e.g., solar altitude, azimuth).
pv_installation_type (str): Type of installation (e.g., rooftop, facade).
simulation_model_type (str): Type of simulation model (e.g., 'explicit').
module_model_name (str): Model name of the PV module being used.
inverter_efficiency (float): Efficiency of the inverter.
system_catalogue_handler (str): Handler for the PV system catalog.
roof_percentage_coverage (float): Percentage of the roof to be covered by PV panels.
facade_coverage_percentage (float): Percentage of the facade to be covered by PV panels.
csv_output (bool): Whether or not to generate CSV output of the results.
output_path (str): Path to store the output CSV file.
results (dict): Dictionary to store the results of the system assessment.
