**Describe the bug** `irradiance.gti_dirint` fails for surface faced North **To Reproduce** ```python import pvlib import pandas as pd times = pd.date_range('2021-11-24', '2021-11-25', freq='h') latitude, longitude, surface_tilt, surface_azimuth = 51.3, 4.56,...
I hope the following is sufficient for reproducing the issue. Writing with `df.to_parquet` goes fine, it's when reading the data back with `pd.read_parquet` that the code hangs. The parquet engine...
The default solar constant used in `irradiance.get_extra_radiation` is currently 1366.1 W/m². Recent work revised the average solar constant to 1361.1 W/m² (see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324269776_A_reevaluation_of_the_solar_constant_based_on_a_42-year_total_solar_irradiance_time_series_and_a_reconciliation_of_spaceborne_observations). This new value seems now to be...
Following code: ```python import attrs def decorated(method): def wrapped(self, *args, **kwargs): return method(self, *args, **kwargs) return wrapped @attrs.define() class A: def f(self): pass @attrs.define() class B(A): @decorated def f(self): super().f()...
bifacial.infinite_sheds.get_irradiance_poa: use of height to pitch ratio instead of height and pitch
Currently, `bifacial.infinite_sheds.get_irradiance_poa` requires both `height` and `pitch` as inputs, but it's relatively easy to non-dimensionalize the calculations such that only the ratio of both is needed. This is very similar...

**Describe the bug** I think the second graph of https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gallery/shading/plot_passias_diffuse_shading.html is incorrect, even though it corresponds with the given reference. In particular, transposing the shading loss in the horizontal plane...
