Knowing where the sun is at in the sky, with high accuracy, is at the core of all solar energy research, whether for site planning, or real time aiming of the most sophisticated concentrating receivers, heliostats, and photovoltaic tracking systems. Sun Position meets this need with two well-documented, easy-to-implement and easy-to-translate Visual Basic algorithms. For most applications the concise 0.02 degree accuracy code works very well. However, for the most exacting requirements, Sun Position also presents a precision algorithm accurate to within 0.00003 degrees.
John Clark Craig, author of many computer programming books for Microsoft, has also programmed solar algorithms for several of the largest solar energy projects, located all over the world. While developing control and monitoring software systems for these projects, John constantly searched for the best algorithms and improved code for determining accurate sun position. Most of the available documentation was not easy to use, with bits and pieces of algorithms here and there, mixed in with poorly explained terminology, and with very little guidance for translating to other programming languages. John vowed to write Sun Position as the reference book he wished he had all along, with easy to read and easy to translate code, check points, validation test cases and debugging help.
Sun Position will be a valuable resource
for programmers and solar engineers of this century.

Programming By Example
Book 1 VB Strings programming examples of enhanced string processing
This book's theme is stringprogramming. In it, you'll find a wide variety of programming examples, demonstrating everything from simple subroutines and functions to complete applications. You'll find little fluff and stuff around the code, other than comment lines, as this is the best way to get right to the core of the code.
Book 2 Sun Position High accuracy solar position algorithms - a resource for programmers and solar energy engineers
Knowing how to calculate the sun's position in the sky with very high accuracy is at the core of just about all solar energy research, whether for site planning, or real time aiming of the most sophisticated concentrating receivers, heliostats, and photovoltaic tracking systems. Sun Position's Visual Basic algorithms meet that core need.
Book 3 Random Numbers Introducing one of the best psuedorandom number generators
This book's theme is random numbers. To be more precise, the subject is pseudorandomnumbers, because they are repeatable and therefore not truly and completely random.
