and does not need to be accounted for separately in a performance model.
Therefore, only the extra reduction at non-normal incidence should be modeled.

This is done using incidence angle modififer (:term:`IAM`) models.
This is done using incidence angle modififer (:term:`IAM <iam>`) models.
Conceptually, IAM is the fraction of incident light that is
transmitted to the PV cell, normalized to the fraction transmitted at normal incidence:
