The Vernay project consists of two main components: a data collector and a prediction model. The data collector is a prerequisite for running the prediction model, and it is responsible for gathering data related to photovoltaic (PV) system power generation. This data can be obtained either as CSV files or stored directly in an PostgreSQL database.

• Before collecting data, run definitions.py to set up project definitions, configurations, and the output directory.
• To collect data in CSV format, run the command vernay.scrape_all().

• Define the database connection parameters in config.cfg.
• To collect data directly into an postgres database, follow the configuration steps and then run vernay.scrape_all().
