Calculate Azimuth and Zenith for complete day to day analysis.
Darren Cattle 11/24/2014
This will calculate solar azimuth and zenith over a day.
Output will go into a table format.
UPDATE 1.28.15 (probably before this): This program has been put on a webpage for free use as linked in the repo. The tables are copiable into excel making this a useful program for solar analysis.
Only required definitions are day of year and latitude.
Code is written in MatLab for purpose, but can be converted to any coding language. I intend to eventually make a javascript page for usage, most of the scripts out there for this purpose are not clean or do not give you accurate data. Any suggestions on differing formulae or practical results are open for discussion.
Formulas are derived from the book: Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes
