 >> '''NVui (09/06/16)''': Even if clouds may induce noise, I don't think they can't explain the strange values under low incidence angles that Jan reports. The SWdown interpolated by orchideedriver at 6pm has systematic spikes, with values of the same order than those at noon. This is not realistic. To my opinion, there is a bug in the interpolation scheme. 
 
->>> '''JP (15/06/16) ''' : I looked into the solar interpolation in detail as it is through this variable that I found that dim2driver was not working correctly and decided to re-write this code. It is not a bug but just the complexity of distributing a given amount of energy proportional to the zenith angle with the condition that at night the SWdown should be zero. If you have over a 3h interval 100W to distribute but the sun is only 10 minutes over the horizon, you have a problem ! I would be happy to test any new and original solution to this problem.

If you have over a 3h interval 100W to distribute but the sun is only 30 minutes over the horizon, you have a problem : 600W ! I would be happy to test any new and original solution to this problem.
