+        The first six elements correspond to the [p1, p2, p3, p4, b, c]

+    modifier: numeric
+        spectral mismatch factor (unitless) which is multiplied
+        with broadband irradiance reaching a module's cells to estimate
+        effective irradiance, i.e., the irradiance that is converted to
+        electrical current.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    The Polo model was developed using only SMM values computed for scenarios
+    when the sun is visible from the module's surface (i.e., for ``aoi<90``),
+    and no provision was made in [1]_ for the case of ``aoi>90``. This would
+    create issues in the air mass calculation internal to the model.
+    Following discussion with the model's author, the pvlib implementation
+    handles ``aoi>90`` by truncating the input ``aoi`` to a maximum of
+    90 degrees.
