Compute every step from solar angles to effective irradiance to calculate the performance of a PV pumping system.

`lat`	numeric, latitude (degrees) of the point of the Earth where calculations are needed. It is positive for locations above the Equator.
`modeTrk`	A character string, describing the tracking method of the generator. See `calcGef` for details.
`modeRad, dataRad, prom, mapa, bd, bdI`	Information about the source data of the global irradiation. See `calcG0` for details.
`prev`	Deprecated, `dataRad` should be used instead. A `G0` object (or something that can be coerced to a `G0` object). It is used when `modeRad='prev'`.

`sample, keep.night`	See `calcSol` for details.
`sunGeometry`	`character`, method for the sun geometry calculations. See `calcSol`, `fSolD` and `fSolI`.
`corr, f`	See `calcG0` for details.

betaLim, beta, alfa, iS, alb, horizBright, HCPV

See calcGef for details.

`pump`	A `list` extracted from `pumpCoef`
`H`	Total manometric head (m)
`Pg`	Nominal power of the PV generator (Wp)
`converter`	`list` containing the nominal power of the frequency converter, `Pnom`, and `Ki`, vector of three values, coefficients of the efficiency curve.
`effSys`	list of numeric values with information about the system losses, `ModQual` average tolerance of the set of modules (%), default value is 3 `ModDisp` module parameter disperssion losses (%), default value is 2 `OhmDC` Joule losses due to the DC wiring (%), default value is 1.5 `OhmAC` Joule losses due to the AC wiring (%), default value is 1.5

The calculation of the irradiance on the generator is carried out with the function calcGef. The performance of the PV system is simulated with fPump.

A ProdPVPS object.
