Ah yes, that's just bad spelling on my part, I was using the incorrect spelling but have now corrected all instances to "latitude".

It turns out it was me being daft again, and was to do with an incorrect azimuth calculation, the solar morning/night switch does work correctly. I was using sine for latitude where I should have been using cosine, it appears to all work as expected, and quite smoothly too. Error is fairly low...

I have one small further question to add. I have an issue where the azimuth jumps around 50 degrees when the solar time reaches 12. This is due to having implemented the fix to the equation suggested earlier, Azimuth = 360° - Azi, for LST > 12 or HRA >0. The azimuth at the point of the switch...

That was exactly it! I feel daft now, thank you so much. That does make a lot of sense though, it's just difficult to keep track of what values are in what format. Thanks everyone for the help, I'll maybe post some pictures if I get the whole thing working as intended, no idea how long that...

Firstly thanks for all the responses and time you have put into helping me. I haven't managed to get a correct result yet but just want to try and break this down a bit further so I can try and work out what should be happening. I'd like to focus on the elevation calculation as I think I should...

Hi there, thanks for responding. So I should have probably included this in my first post, but this is a calculator for the calculations I'm trying to replicate: http://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/properties-of-sunlight/sun-position-calculator I've double checked the equations and believe...

Hi there, I hope this is the right place for this question and furthermore doesn't appear rude that my first post is a question! If so, I do apologise, I haven't been able to find an appropriate place to ask this. I'm working on calculating the position of the sun at a given day of the year for...
