SolarPosition.jl

SolarPosition.jl provides a simple, unified interface to a collection of solar position algorithms written in pure, performant julia. The position of the sun in the sky is based on date, time, and a given observer location.

A solar position algorithm is commonly used to calculate the solar zenith and azimuth angles, which are essential for various applications such as solar energy systems, building design, and climate studies.

Solar positioning algorithms

Here we provide an overview of the solar positioning algorithms currently implemented in SolarPosition.jl. Each algorithm is described with its reference paper, claimed accuracy and implementation status.
