shading.ground_angle(surface_tilt, gcr, ...)

Angle from horizontal of the line from a point on the row slant length to the bottom of the facing row.

shading.masking_angle(surface_tilt, gcr, ...)

The elevation angle below which diffuse irradiance is blocked.

shading.masking_angle_passias(surface_tilt, gcr)

The average masking angle over the slant height of a row.

shading.sky_diffuse_passias(masking_angle)
