Determine extraterrestrial radiation from day of year.
Parameters
----------
datetime_or_doy : numeric, array, date, datetime, Timestamp, DatetimeIndex
Day of year, array of days of year, or datetime-like object
solar_constant : float, default 1366.1
The solar constant.
method : string, default 'spencer'
The method by which the ET radiation should be calculated.
Options include ``'pyephem', 'spencer', 'asce', 'nrel'``.
epoch_year : int, default 2014
The year in which a day of year input will be calculated. Only
applies to day of year input used with the pyephem or nrel

Returns
-------
dni_extra : float, array, or Series
The extraterrestrial radiation present in watts per square meter
on a surface which is normal to the sun. Pandas Timestamp and
DatetimeIndex inputs will yield a Pandas TimeSeries. All other
inputs will yield a float or an array of floats.

surface can be found from the diffuse horizontal irradiance and the
tilt angle of the surface.
