Hi Thanos,

You should have posted this question on the forum (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/ladybug).

Are you interested to the results for a single orientation and tilt or do you want all of them at the same time? Here is a quick example that shows how to set it up for a single panel for the month of January in SF. You can animate the slider or use Solar Calla Dome to calculate it for several orientations at the same time.

Thanks Mostapha.

Actually I want to calculate irradiation on a dome, divided in many facets.

I had done it for my PhD using BASIC, then Visual Basic on Excel long ago; now I want to repeat it in Ladybug to compare output.

BTW, is there any info on the calculation model used by Ladybug?

Reading about Radiation Calla Lily, I realized it is what I want.

Still, links to the calculation model would help.
