When calling perez_diffuse_luminance irradiance model with a panel configuration where the solar vector is almost orthogonal to the surface normal, the computation falls into an infinite recursion loop.

This is probably because the dot product of the solar vector and both surface normal (front and back) is computed as negative by pvlib.
