• dhi (numeric or Series) – Diffuse horizontal irradiance ($D_h$). [W/m^2]

• bni_extra (numeric or Series) – Extraterrestrial beam normal irradiance ($E_{0n}$). [W/m^2]

• zenith (numeric or Series) – Solar zenith angle ($Z$). [degrees]

Returns:

flags – Boolean flags (True = Pass). [bool]

Return type:

Series or ndarray
