Calculate solar irradiance

The jupyter notebook provides skripts to calculate solar irradiance averaged over a year. It uses the Brunger Hooper algorithm, defined in the paper Anisotropic sky radiance model based on narrow field of view measurements of shortwave radiance. The generated json consists of a 2D nested array, returning the irradiance for (phi, theta) pairs, where phi and theta are spherical coordinates.

Irradiance Plot in spherical coordiantes, for theta in [0,2*PI] and phi in [0, PI/2]. The color indicates the irradiance.
Yearly average irradiance coming from the sky segments. The color indicates the irradiance coming from the given sky segment, legend is in arbitrary units.
