-Individual components of bifacial rear irradiance gain in PV loss diagram were reporting wrong values due to clear sky calls of function calculating rear irradiance being made after original call.
-Update variable declarations to not overwrite bifacial irradiance outputs
-No changes to bifacial energy calculations, only loss diagram outputs

Looks good now.
