+Essentially, the Example Gallery showcases the **pvlib** functionality and, in some cases, can give inspiration on how to perform a specific task. 
 
-As part of my GSoC, I contributed a script to the Example Gallery in which I demonstrated how to use an existing module temperature model of **pvlib** (i.e., the [PVSyst model](https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.temperature.pvsyst_cell.html#pvlib.temperature.pvsyst_cell)  to calculate the module temperature of a floating photovoltaic (FPV) panel.

 The PVSyst model uses some heat loss coefficients to estimate the module temperature. However, the default heat loss coefficient values of the PVSyst model were specified for land-based PV systems and are not necessarily representative of FPV systems. Thus, a number of heat loss coefficients for FPV modules were used from the literature in order to calculate the module temperatures and compare them to the module temperature when using the default (land-based) heat loss coefficients. The outcome highlighted the necessity of choosing appropriate heat loss coefficients when using the PVSyst model to calculate the cell temperature for floating PV systems. A difference of up to 10.3 °C was obtained when using the default PVSyst coefficients versus using coefficients for systems where panels are in contact with water.

 <p>After some rounds of revisions, the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/pull/2110">submitted PR</a> was merged into the main code and will become available in the next <strong>pvlib</strong> release.</p>
 <p>Hopefully, this Gallery Example will provide some helpful insights to <strong>pvlib</strong> users regarding module temperature estimation for floating PV plants. Do you have any ideas on Gallery Examples? Reach out and it could be your first PR!</p>
