Right now our docs build uses python 3.7 (see https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/blob/main/readthedocs.yml), which I'm guessing means it's also using an older pandas that doesn't support inclusive. I'm in favor of upgrading our docs build configuration to a more modern environment. @PhilBrk8 would you be up for trying that out in this PR?

Hi there,
sorry - life got in the way a bit...

I'm currently doing the Solar Energy Engineering Program of the TU Delft on edx.org and i'm in the last of 4 courses.
I set my self the goal to transfer the content and calculations into code in order to review and solidify my learnings.

To go even further and incorporate useful parts into the library while bringing it up to a more modern environment might be a great opportunity to advance my python skills to the next level and polish up my github profile in the meantime as well.

@kandersolar Would you also be in favor of this?
