Technical summary

ModelChain temperature_model inference can raise AttributeError by reading PVSystem.racking_model on systems with multiple arrays.

Handle multi-array systems by inspecting each array racking_model instead of using the singular PVSystem.racking_model attribute.

The references note that PVSystem.racking_model is not supported for multi-array systems, so the fix should be array-aware.

The patch passes the actual PVSystem into resolve_array_temperature_model during ModelChain inference. The helper returns the array-aware model key instead of reading unsupported PVSystem.racking_model on multi-array systems.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import pvlib; print('smoke test OK')"
