Description
When "module is bifacial" is de-selected on the module page, some of the bifacial-related items still appear in the loss diagram (rear irradiance, rear rack losses, bifacial electrical mismatch). Ideally these items would not show up if the module is not bifacial. This is NOT an issue with calculations, as the correct quantities are used to predict power generation, but it is confusing in the loss diagram.

Research direction
Start at the module page's “module is bifacial” setting and trace how the loss diagram is assembled when that option is de-selected. Reproduce the case and verify that rear irradiance, rear rack losses, and bifacial electrical mismatch no longer appear, while the power-generation calculations remain unchanged.
