Hello, does anyone know of any good resources for solar path data? Like what angle in the sky the sun is at for different parts of the year.
Thanks,
AL

Solar path data refers to information about the position of the sun in the sky at a specific location and time. This includes the sun's elevation angle, azimuth angle, and the path it takes throughout the day.
Solar path data is important for a variety of purposes, such as planning solar energy systems, designing buildings for optimal natural lighting, and predicting the sun's location for outdoor activities.
There are several resources available for finding solar path data, including online calculators, smartphone apps, and specialized software. These resources use algorithms and data from satellites to accurately calculate the sun's position.
The accuracy of solar path data depends on the specific resource being used. Generally, online calculators and apps provide a good estimate, but specialized software can provide more precise data. The accuracy also depends on the location and time being queried.
Yes, solar path data can be calculated for any location on Earth and for any time of the day. However, the accuracy may vary depending on the availability of data for the specific location and time being queried.
