*Highlights:*
* Albedo can be entered as a column in weather DataFrame when running a
model chain. This can be used to enter a time series instead of just
monthly values.
* A new function calc_surface_orientation() returns tracker surface tilt
and azimuth when given tracker rotation and axis tilt.
* There's a new example in the gallery to calculate backside irradiance
using pvfactors.
* Dropped support for Python-3.6 and increased required pandas to v0.25.0
* A new build system that conforms to PEP 517 & PEP518
* There were several new contributors.
*Thank you for using pvlib python!*
