Functions for calculating front and back surface irradiance

`bifacial.pvfactors.pvfactors_timeseries`(...)	Calculate front and back surface plane-of-array irradiance on a fixed tilt or single-axis tracker PV array configuration using the pvfactors model.
`bifacial.infinite_sheds.get_irradiance`(...)	Get front and rear irradiance using the infinite sheds model.
`bifacial.infinite_sheds.get_irradiance_poa`(...)	Calculate plane-of-array (POA) irradiance on one side of a row of modules.

Loss models that are specific to bifacial PV systems

bifacial.power_mismatch_deline(rmad[, ...])

Estimate DC power loss due to irradiance non-uniformity.
