I want to add Solar Radiation modelling functionality to OF. It would be extremely important for engineering problems. I am thinking of coupling either with the SOLPOS algorithm:
http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/codes_algs/solpos/
or the SPA (http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/codesandalgorithms/spa/)

Both calculate the sun's intensity and position in the sky for a given day.
Any ideas of effcient ways of doing that would be
welcomed.
