Direct sun hours recipe calculates the number of hours of direct sun received by grids of sensors during the time period of a specified Wea. The recipe generates 2 sub-folders of results:
-
direct_sun_hours: Contains matrices of zero/one values indicating whether each sensor is exposed to the sun at a given time step of the input Wea. -
cumulative: The cumulative number of hours that each sensor can see the sun. Each value is always in hours.
Using the -viz version of this recipe will produce a VTKjs file for visualizing the cumulative results.
