5.3.6. Conclusion

Calculation of the solar position:

This software uses "Astronomical algorithms" created by Jean Meeus to calculate algorithms of the

solar position.

The accuracy of this algorithm on longitude is +/- 72 degrees of range within 0.0167 degrees.

However accuracy depends on atmospheric temperature, pressure, and humidity. Therefore under

certain circumstances accuracy may be very poor.

Currently the solar azimuth value is properly corrected when refraction of atmospheric conditions are

properly considered.
