The problem I have with this is that I am studying the effects of controlled shading and averaging data over the hours seem to effect the results. There is for instance one particular day where only one hour has direct radiation of 100 W/m2 which is averaged around that hour (25 50 and 25 again). If this would be 600W/m2 and it would be averaged to 150, 300 and 150 W/m2 and the solar shading would be set to close above levels of 350W/m2 it would not be closed due to the averaging effects... This worries me. I have the following questions: Is it me doing something wrong? How can I stop this averaging? What are alternatives?
