    Implements NREL's PVWatts DC power model [1]_:

    .. math::

        P_{dc} = \frac{G_{poa eff}}{1000} P_{dc0} ( 1 + \gamma_{pdc} (T_{cell} - T_{ref}))

    Parameters
    ----------
    g_poa_effective: numeric
        Irradiance transmitted to the PV cells in units of W/m**2. To be
        fully consistent with PVWatts, the user must have already
        applied angle of incidence losses, but not soiling, spectral,
        etc.
    temp_cell: numeric
        Cell temperature in degrees C.
    pdc0: numeric
        Nameplate DC rating.
    gamma_pdc: numeric
        The temperature coefficient in units of 1/C. Typically -0.002 to
        -0.005 per degree C.
    temp_ref: numeric, default 25.0
        Cell reference temperature. PVWatts defines it to be 25 C and
        is included here for flexibility.

    Returns
    -------
    pdc: numeric
        DC power.
