Data model class to hold the solar positions

to use the in-build SolarFarmer solar position algorithm

Namespace: SolarFarmerApi.Client

Syntax

public class SolarPositions

Properties

LocalDateTime

The date-time for each time-step, provided in local time, assuming the same time-zone offset as the met data
This should be the precise time that is associated with that solar position, so care must be taken regarding
period start times and period center time.
Typically met-data and PVsyst results data has a time-stamp for the start time of each hour period, so 30 minutes
must be added to that to get the period center time that is appropriate for the solar position.
