r"""
Determine diffuse irradiance from the sky on a tilted surface.
Determine total in-plane irradiance and it's beam, sky diffuse and ground
reflected components, using the specified sky diffuse irradiance model.

.. math::

I_{tot} = I_{beam} + I_{sky} + I_{ground}
I_{tot} = I_{beam} + I_{sky diffuse} + I_{ground}

See the transposition function documentation for details.
Sky diffuse models include:
* isotropic (default)
* klucher
* haydavies
* reindl
* king
* perez
