Synthetic Solar
===============

Synthetic Solar is a Python module for generating synthetic sequences of hourly
solar irradiances.

Example
-------

```python 
import synth_solar
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Mean monthly clearness indices and latitude for Sydney, Australia
Ktm = [0.49, 0.48, 0.50, 0.51, 0.51, 0.54, 0.54, 0.57, 0.56, 0.54, 0.51, 0.51]
lat = -34.8

# Generate sequence of synthetic hourly solar irradiances
G0 = synth_solar.Aguiar_hourly_G0(Ktm, lat)

# Print global horizontal irradiation (GHI) in kWh/m2/yr
print(sum(G0))

# Plot synthetic solar sequence
plt.plot(G0)
plt.show()
```

Running the above routine generates sequences with GHI typically in the range of 1550 - 1700 kWh/m2/yr, which is in line with the long-term solar irradiation in the greater Sydney area (e.g. based on satellite data such as SolarGIS).
