I have developed a simple simulator [0] to estimate the theoretical power received by the target for a given hardware configuration: - the global position on the planet - the date and time - the size and position of some background elements - the number, size and position of the panels in the grid The solar power estimation uses : - the Python code provided in this article [1] to estimate position of the sun (thank you John Clark Craig) - the simplified formula [2] to estimate the direct insolation from the sun position - a custom light projection implemented using Panda3D game engine [3] [0] https://github.com/remipch/solar_concentrator/blob/master/software/simulator/README.md https://github.com/remipch/solar_concentrator/blob/master/so...
