Values

Lee and Panchula = lee_panchula (default): a modifier from the air mass and the precipitable water, with a published coefficient set for each cell technology · Air-mass modifier (King 2004) = king: a polynomial in the absolute air mass with De Soto's coefficients, applied to the effective irradiance
