  • Closes get_pvgis_tmy results don't match PVGIS website  #1360
  • I am familiar with the contributing guidelines
    - [ ] Tests added
    - [ ] Updates entries to docs/sphinx/source/api.rst for API changes.
    - [ ] Adds description and name entries in the appropriate "what's new" file in docs/sphinx/source/whatsnew for all changes. Includes link to the GitHub Issue with :issue:`num` or this Pull Request with :pull:`num`. Includes contributor name and/or GitHub username (link with :ghuser:`user`).
  • New code is fully documented. Includes numpydoc compliant docstrings, examples, and comments where necessary.
  • Pull request is nearly complete and ready for detailed review.
  • Maintainer: Appropriate GitHub Labels and Milestone are assigned to the Pull Request and linked Issue.

The get_pvgis_tmy function defaults to using all available years to generate the TMY, whereas the PVGIS website only allows for 10 years to be used. I propose to add a note explaining this difference to eliminate any confusion of why the results sometimes differ, e.g., #1360.

Also, I changed a number of single-backticks to double-backticks as per the recommended convention.
