+    Estimation of spectral mismatch for BIPV application in vertical facades.
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    precipitable_water : numeric
+        atmospheric precipitable water. [cm]
+
+    airmass_absolute : numeric
+        absolute (pressure-adjusted) airmass. [unitless]
+    aod500 : numeric
+        atmospheric aerosol optical depth at 500 nm. [unitless]
+    aoi : numeric
+        angle of incidence. [degrees]
+    altitude: numeric
+        altitude over sea level. [m]
+    module_type : str, optional
+        One of the following PV technology strings from [1]_:
+
+        * ``'cdte'`` - anonymous CdTe module.
+        * ``'monosi'`` - anonymous sc-si module.
+        * ``'cigs'`` - anonymous copper indium gallium selenide module.
+        * ``'asi'`` - anonymous amorphous silicon module.
+    albedo
+        Ground albedo (default value if 0.2). [unitless]
+
+    coefficients : array-like, optional
+        user-defined coefficients, if not using one of the default coefficient
+        set via the ``module_type`` parameter.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    modifier: numeric
+        spectral mismatch factor (unitless) which is multiplied
+        with broadband irradiance reaching a module's cells to estimate
+        effective irradiance, i.e., the irradiance that is converted to
+        electrical current.
