I could easily be wrong here. You are passing `**module` to a position argument `module`. I believe that `**module` is expanded to a list of kwargs, which `pvsystem.sapm` interprets as...

I think this issue asks to clarify that north means true north, in docstrings.

@toddkarin in the current workflow, Ee (effective irradiance) is the irradiance that is converted to electrical current. Ee is usually estimated from broadband POA by Ee = f1 x (IAM(aoi)...
