PVGIS tests are failing

[kandersolar]

Several PVGIS tests are failing because the expected values no longer match what is returned by the API. See an example CI run: https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/actions/runs/11003008118/job/30551180154#step:6:256

I suppose it has something to do with the release of PVGIS 5.3. See here:
https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/photovoltaic-geographical-information-system-pvgis/pvgis-releases/pvgis-53_en

[AdamRJensen]

I think this is good news!

I'll prepare some updated tests soon

@AdamRJensen PVGIS tests are failing again: https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/actions/runs/11354441803/job/31581700027
