When calling perez_diffuse_luminance irradiance model with a panel configuration where the solar vector is almost orthogonal to the surface normal, the computation falls into an infinite recursion loop.
from pvfactors.irradiance.models import perez_diffuse_luminance timestamps = ['2020-01-02 15:00:00+00:00'] surface_tilt=[86.43564127244697] surface_azimuth=[312.7] solar_zenith=[78.53023197697105] solar_azimuth=[221.9758276910072] DNI=[100] DHI=[50] perez_diffuse_luminance( timestamps, surface_tilt, surface_azimuth, solar_zenith, solar_azimuth, DNI, DHI)
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
This is probably because the dot product of the solar vector and both surface normal (front and back) is computed as negative by pvlib.
