The SolarFarmer Calculation Reference
The numbered sections of this document attempt to introduce the reader to the general flow and algorithmic details of the energy calculation implemented in SolarFarmer. To aid the flow of this description, details of specific algorithms used at each stage are not included in this text; these are instead described in detail in the appendices.
