Extracting Solar Altitude/Zenith Angles

Hi,

After setting the location in APLocate I'm hoping to extract the solar altitude (or zenith) angles from Suncast for every hour of every day of one year.

I think I can do this by running Solar Shading Calculations (31 separate times), saving the Table of Solar Altitudes and subsequently manipulating it in Excel. This will involve a fair amount of cutting and pasting in Excel.

Is there an easier way to get a simple text or Excel output document with one column of hourly solar altitude angles for one year?

Thanks!

Daithi.

Hi Daithi,
You can save the result in simple text format using 'Save' button.
To save the result for some particular hour you need to copy & paste.
I know it is bit tidious , I will pass your request to our development team.

Thanks for replying Laddad.

I've extracted the angles. As you said, a little bit tedious, but it's done now.
