r"""
The ``iam`` module contains functions that implement models for the incidence
angle modifier (IAM). The IAM quantifies the fraction of direct irradiance on
a module's front surface that is transmitted through the module materials to
the cells. Stated differently, the quantity 1 - IAM is the fraction of direct
irradiance that is reflected away or absorbed by the module's front materials.
IAM is typically a function of the angle of incidence (AOI) of the direct
irradiance to the module's surface.

r"""
Determine the incidence angle modifier using the ASHRAE transmission
model.
The ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air
Conditioning Engineers) transmission model is developed in
[1]_, and in [2]_. The model has been used in software such as PVSyst [3]_.
Parameters
----------
aoi : numeric
The angle of incidence (AOI) between the module normal vector and the
sun-beam vector in degrees. Angles of nan will result in nan.
b : float, default 0.05
A parameter to adjust the incidence angle modifier as a function of
angle of incidence. Typical values are on the order of 0.05 [3].
Returns
-------
iam : numeric
The incident angle modifier (IAM). Returns zero for all abs(aoi) >= 90
and for all ``iam`` values that would be less than 0.
Notes
-----
The incidence angle modifier is calculated as
.. math::
IAM = 1 - b (\sec(aoi) - 1)
As AOI approaches 90 degrees, the model yields negative values for IAM;
negative IAM values are set to zero in this implementation.

r"""
Determine the incidence angle modifier using refractive index ``n``,
extinction coefficient ``K``, glazing thickness ``L`` and refractive
index ``n_ar`` of an optional anti-reflective coating.
``iam.physical`` calculates the incidence angle modifier as described in
[1]_, Section 3, with additional support of an anti-reflective coating.
The calculation is based on a physical model of reflections, absorption,
and transmission through a transparent cover.
Parameters
----------
aoi : numeric
The angle of incidence between the module normal vector and the
sun-beam vector in degrees. Angles of nan will result in nan.
n : numeric, default 1.526
The effective index of refraction (unitless). Reference [1]_
indicates that a value of 1.526 is acceptable for glass.
K : numeric, default 4.0
The glazing extinction coefficient in units of 1/meters.
Reference [1] indicates that a value of 4 is reasonable for
"water white" glass.
L : numeric, default 0.002
The glazing thickness in units of meters. Reference [1]_
indicates that 0.002 meters (2 mm) is reasonable for most
glass-covered PV panels.
n_ar : numeric, optional
The effective index of refraction of the anti-reflective (AR) coating
(unitless). If ``n_ar`` is not supplied, no AR coating is applied.
A typical value for the effective index of an AR coating is 1.29.
Returns
-------
iam : numeric
The incident angle modifier
Notes
-----
The pvlib python authors believe that Eqn. 14 in [1]_ is
incorrect, which presents :math:`\theta_{r} = \arcsin(n \sin(AOI))`.
Here, :math:`\theta_{r} = \arcsin(1/n \times \sin(AOI))`

def martin_ruiz(aoi, a_r=0.16):
r'''
Determine the incidence angle modifier (IAM) using the Martin
and Ruiz incident angle model.
Parameters
----------
aoi : numeric, degrees
The angle of incidence between the module normal vector and the
sun-beam vector in degrees.
a_r : numeric
The angular losses coefficient described in equation 3 of [1]_.
This is an empirical dimensionless parameter. Values of ``a_r`` are
generally on the order of 0.08 to 0.25 for flat-plate PV modules.
Returns
-------
iam : numeric
The incident angle modifier(s)
Notes
-----
`martin_ruiz` calculates the incidence angle modifier (IAM) as described in
[1]_. The information required is the incident angle (AOI) and the angular
losses coefficient (a_r). Note that [1]_ has a corrigendum [2]_ which
clarifies a mix-up of 'alpha's and 'a's in the former.
The incident angle modifier is defined as
.. math::
IAM = \frac{1 - \exp(-\frac{\cos(aoi)}{a_r})}
{1 - \exp(\frac{-1}{a_r})}
which is presented as :math:`AL(\alpha) = 1 - IAM` in equation 4 of [1]_,
with :math:`\alpha` representing the angle of incidence AOI. Thus IAM = 1
at AOI = 0, and IAM = 0 at AOI = 90. This equation is only valid for
-90 <= aoi <= 90, therefore `iam` is constrained to 0.0 outside this
interval.

'''
Determine the incidence angle modifiers (iam) for diffuse sky and

Parameters
----------
surface_tilt: float or array-like, default 0
Surface tilt angles in decimal degrees.
The tilt angle is defined as degrees from horizontal
(e.g. surface facing up = 0, surface facing horizon = 90)
surface_tilt must be in the range [0, 180]
a_r : numeric
The angular losses coefficient described in equation 3 of [1]_.
This is an empirical dimensionless parameter. Values of a_r are
generally on the order of 0.08 to 0.25 for flat-plate PV modules.
a_r must be greater than zero.
c1 : float
First fitting parameter for the expressions that approximate the
integral of diffuse irradiance coming from different directions.
c1 is given as the constant 4 / 3 / pi (0.4244) in [1]_.
c2 : float
Second fitting parameter for the expressions that approximate the
integral of diffuse irradiance coming from different directions.
If c2 is not specified, it will be calculated according to the linear
relationship given in [3]_.
Returns

iam_sky : numeric

Notes
-----
Sky and ground modifiers are complementary: iam_sky for tilt = 30 is
equal to iam_ground for tilt = 180 - 30. For vertical surfaces,
tilt = 90, the two factors are equal.

Determine the incidence angle modifier (IAM) by interpolating a set of
reference values, which are usually measured values.
Parameters
----------
aoi : numeric
The angle of incidence between the module normal vector and the
sun-beam vector [degrees].
theta_ref : numeric
Vector of angles at which the IAM is known [degrees].
iam_ref : numeric
IAM values for each angle in ``theta_ref`` [unitless].
method : str, default 'linear'
Specifies the interpolation method.
Useful options are: 'linear', 'quadratic', 'cubic'.
See scipy.interpolate.interp1d for more options.
normalize : boolean, default True
When true, the interpolated values are divided by the interpolated
value at zero degrees. This ensures that ``iam=1.0`` at normal
incidence.
Returns
-------
iam : numeric
The incident angle modifier(s) [unitless]
Notes
-----
``theta_ref`` must have two or more points and may span any range of
angles. Typically there will be a dozen or more points in the range 0-90
degrees. Beyond the range of ``theta_ref``, IAM values are extrapolated,
but constrained to be non-negative.
The sign of ``aoi`` is ignored; only the magnitude is used.

Unlike other IAM models, this model has no ability to describe

Unlike the Fresnel reflection factor itself, Schlick's approximation can

This function implements the integration of the

Notes
-----
The analytical integration of the Schlick approximation was derived
as part of the FEDIS diffuse IAM model [2]_. Compared with the model
implemented in this function, the FEDIS model includes an additional term
to account for reflection off a pyranometer's glass dome. Because that
reflection should already be accounted for in the instrument's calibration,
the pvlib authors believe it is inappropriate to account for pyranometer
reflection again in an IAM model. Thus, this function omits that term and
implements only the integrated Schlick approximation.
Note also that the output of this function (which is an exact integration)
can be compared with the output of :py:func:`marion_diffuse` which numerically
integrates the Schlick approximation:
