Question: Backside irradiance fraction vs. albedo #4

Is the albedo value ignored when the bifacial model is proportional?

toddkarin commented 4 years ago

Good question, the albedo is still used to get the front plane-of-array irradiance using pvlib.irradiance.get_total_irradiance

kurt-rhee commented 4 years ago

Understood thank you!
