This is a faithful port of the source code of SolarCalc.jar (version 1.1, Jan. 2006), a computer program that was developped by the USDA Agricultural Research Service and that is available free of charge at https://data.nal.usda.gov/dataset/solarcalc-10.

Version 1.0 of SolarCalc.py and SolarCalc.jar (version 1.1, Jan. 2006) should yield the same output. This was tested using the climate data from demo_climatedata.csv.
