Module contents

SolTrack module

SolTrack is a simple, free, fast and accurate Python package to compute the position of the Sun, as well as its rise and set times. SolTrack can be used under the conditions of the EUPL 1.2 licence. These pages contain the API documentation. For more information on the Python package, licence, source code and data files, see the [SolTrack homepage](http://soltrack.sf.net) and [Van der Sluys & Van Kan (2022)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.01557) (open access scientific paper with all technical details).
