This a package to calculate some properties of the air and to do some calculations on solar equipments.
To run this tool you'll need Wolfram Mathematica software installed. With a project created, you need to put the SolarCalculus.wl file on the storage. Locate the right folder using this code:
SystemOpen[FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Applications"}]]After that, create a folder called SolarCalculus and put the SolarCalculus.wl in it. After that, import the package with the following code:
Needs["SolarCalculus`"]That's all. Now you are able to use functions of this package.
