Description
Describe the bug
According to the (new) docstring for ModelChain.run_from_effective_irradiance
, cell temperature can be calculated from temperature_model using 'effective_irradiance'
. This is not the case when using one or more arrays

Expected behavior
Running the model with both weather
and [weather]
work
