altitude_azimuth¶: [-ang] A tuple corresponding to altitude and azimuth angle.This input can be used instead of specifying the monthDayTime.

sunny_sky¶: [-s|+s] A boolean value to generate sunny sky with or without sun. Set to True to generate a sunnny sky with sun, Fasle to generate a sunny sky without sun (Default: None)

cloudy_sky¶: [-c] A boolean value to generate cloudy sky

interm_sky¶: [-i|+i] A boolean value to generate intermediate sky with or without sun. Set to True to generate an intermediate sky with sun, Fasle to generate a intermediate sky without sun (Default: None)

uniform_cloudy_sky¶: [-u] A boolean value to generate Uniform cloudy sky.

ground_reflect¶: [-g rfl] A float number to indicate ground reflectance.

zenith_bright¶: [-b brt] A float number to indicate zenith brightness in watts/steradian/meter-sq.

zenith_bright_horz_diff¶: [-B irrad] A float number to indicate zenith brightness from horizontal diffuse irradiance in watts/meter-sq.

solar_rad¶: [-r rad] A float number to indicate solar radiance in

watts/steradians/meter-sq.

solar_rad_horz_diff¶: [-R irrad] A float number to indicate solar radiance from horizontal direct irradiance in watts/meter-sq.

turbidity¶: [-t trb] A float number to indicate turbidity.

latitude¶: [-a lat] A float number to indicate site altitude. Negative angle indicates south latitude.

longitude¶: [-o lon] A float number to indicate site latitude. Negative angle indicates east longitude.

meridian¶: [-m mer] A float number to indicate site meridian west of

Greenwich.

Usage:

# generate sky matrix with default values gnskyparam = GenskyParameters()

# check the current values print(gnskyparam.to_rad_string()) > -g 0.5

# set altitude and azimuth angle values gnsky.altitude_azimuth = (12,31)

#check the new values added. print(gnskyparam.to_rad_string()) > -g 0.5 -ang 12.0 31.0
