Use numpy.atleast_1d? It would avoid the if but otherwise I don't know if it's better.

I think the requirement is that surface_tilt be an array of the same length as the meteo inputs, so np.atleast_1d would still need to be followed by a conditional np.repeat or something.

full_like docs say it requires a scalar input, but this works:
a = np.array([1,2,3])
np.full_like(a, 7)
array([7, 7, 7])
np.full_like(a, np.array([7,8,9]))
array([7, 8, 9])

Seems to work with lists and Series too. Always happy to learn a new numpy function :)

New test failures are the same as #717 (comment), so ignoring here |

Updates entries todocs/sphinx/source/api.rstfor API changes.docs/sphinx/source/whatsnewfor all changes. Includes link to the GitHub Issue with:issue:`num`or this Pull Request with:pull:`num`. Includes contributor name and/or GitHub username (link with:ghuser:`user`).New code is fully documented. Includes numpydoc compliant docstrings, examples, and comments where necessary.As mentioned in #1332, I opted to rework the function to allow scalar orientation inputs instead of editing the docstring to prohibit them. I also did some cleanup in the tests to avoid code duplication.
