Solar Flux Calculator

Solar Flux Calculator enables you to compute the solar flux along a surface at a particular latitude, longitude, date, and time of day.

Surface Specification	Under Surface Specification, specify whether the surface is horizontal or has a vertical surface tilt. If it has a vertical tilt, specify the degree of the tilt.
Face direction specified by	For surfaces with a vertical tilt, under Face direction specified, specify the direction of the surface by compass direction or degrees relative to south.
Time, Date, Month	Specify the time of day, date of the month, and month of the year for the calculation.
Latitude, Longitude	Specify the location latitude and longitude for the calculation.
