tan_phi
) is calculated several times in theinfinite_sheds
workflow. This PR calculates it once and passes it around, simplifying the relevant utility functions and their signatures.For context, this is a step towards future enhancements I intend to make to
pvlib.bifacial
, which would benefit from working withtan_phi
instead of the base solar position and module angles.
