pvlib installation note

pvlib github 

I installed pvlib by:

pip3 install pvlib

later, while trying to compile and run an example pvsystem, I came across some errors, related to matplotlib:

ImportError: libhdf5_serial.so.103: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

how to solve it: 

this  stackoverflow doesn't work for me: 

remove h5py before install
sudo apt-get install python3-h5py

which shows: 

403 forbidden ( repository error...) 

Instead, I solved it by:

pip3 install h5py 

sudo apt-get install python3-h5py

Timezones:

Pls note ETC/GMT+8 is 8 hours behind GMT, ie Pacific, Mexico
