Type Alias SolarIrradianceData

Solar irradiance data. metadata json holds the coordinates where the irradiance data can be used. daylight_timesteps_processed is the number of hours of daylight in the considered timeframe. If the skydome represents a whole year, this is about 4700.

data holds a list of sky segments, where altitude and azimuth define the position and radiance defines the amount of incoming radiance. Read more about it in the "How does simshady work" section of the docs page.

Definition of the coordiante system in simshady: Angles are expected in degree. Azimuth = 0 is North, Azimuth = 90° is East. Altitude = 0 is the horizon, Altitude = 90° is upwards / Zenith.
