The test date can be changed on Project Settings > Climate Daylighting tab. The default date is set for 01 Jan to 31 Dec
- This is a an annual cumulative Solar radiation calculation.
- The final output is given in KWh/m2
- The calculation is based on the epw climate file.
- The calculation includes direct contribution from the sun on cloudy condition (as per the climate file) and also includes the contribution from the atmosphere.
- A legend image and CSV report are created during the calculation.
- The CSV report includes values for all the ranges that are defined in the Legends settings. The default is set to 0 to 1000 Kwh/m2
