Solar Position Algorithm for Solar Radiation Applications (Revised) [PDF]
, 2008 This report is a step-by-step procedure for implementing an algorithm to calculate the solar zenith and azimuth angles in the period from the year -2000 to 6000, with uncertainties of ?0.0003/. It is written in a step-by-step format to simplify otherwise complicated steps, with a focus on the sun instead of the planets and stars in general.

Solar Position Measurement System Utilizing Solar Cell Array [PDF]
The Open Construction and Building Technology Journal, 2009 This paper presents a novel approach for estimating the position of the sun by measuring the output voltage signals of two solar cell arrays orientated orthogonally to one another. Each array comprises a symmetrical arrangement of six cells inclined at angles of either 15, 45 or 75 to the horizontal, respectively. As the position of the sun varies over
