A Solar Calculator
Project description
Sunshine
Solar Calculator
This package generates Solar Position Data based on Latitude, Longitude, Date and Time Zone.
Future updates will include elevation data.
The initial goal was to create a simple function that produced the daily sunrise and sunset for any given location. These calculations create a large amount of useful data that can be used for other solar related calculations and are based on the calculations from NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration). The calculations can be used in various projects, including, but not limited to, Solar Panel Placement, Sun Exposure for Building Construction, Photography, and Circadian Rhythm-based IOT projects, and Timers.

Disclaimer Data for Litigation: The sunshine Solar Calculator is for research and recreational use only. The authors cannot certify or authenticate sunrise, sunset or solar position data. We do not collect observations of astronomical data, and due to atmospheric conditions, our calculated results may vary significantly from actual observed values.
