In brief
The calculation is checked in three ways: automated tests on every change, fixed reference runs that reveal any change in results, and a catalogue of test cases. In the test cases the same scenario is recalculated independently: with a formula, with the lighting simulation program Radiance, with an own ray tracing, by a second run with a known result, according to the documented rule or with the independent library pvlib; the filter in the report is checked against the key figures of the server. There is no standard for testing glare software; the structure follows the test cases for lighting calculation programs in CIE 171:2006. The results are shown here per calculation state, with every case and every compared value.

Mast 0.3 m wide, 20 m tall.
Known deviation. The mast shades the reflecting spot on the façade. The engine checks the sun shadow per 0.5° cell at its centroid, the reference per point: if only a narrow part of the lobe is still sunlit, one time step may be missed. Model limit (owner 13 Oct 2026, #12), known up to one time step per day.

I7Standard module, measuredRadiance geometry (rtrace) + documented photometrydocumented
Profile and lobe width of a measured standard module (core and two rings, measured to 80°, extrapolated above); engine and reference use the same zones.
Known deviation. At the edge of the area a cell can get the luminance of the inner zone although only the outer zone reaches the surface. Known only upwards, up to the zone ratio and in at most a quarter of the minutes; too low is always an error.

L3Zones vs continuous lobeRadiance geometry, continuous Gaussian lobe from the measurementmodel limit
A measured standard module, once as a continuously falling lobe (Gaussian from the measurement) and three times in steps: core only, core + 1 ring, core + 2 rings. Each zone carries the maximum at its inner edge; the outer edge is always at 1 % of the peak. Inside the edge the steps always overestimate; only the tail beyond the edge is missed.

Tolerances
Every compared quantity with its tolerance and why it was chosen. Principle: tight where glare would be missed; wider where it is too much, but never unbounded.
| Cases | Compared quantity | Tolerance | guards against | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Sun position vs NREL SPA reference value | ±0,0001° | both directions | Published reference value at this precision; pvlib/SPA use the same formula. |
| A | Engine sun table vs SPA | ≤ 0,000001° | both directions | Same calculation, rounding only. |
| A | Minutes with sun on a day (analytical) | 0 | both directions | Count without rounding margin. |
| A | Lowest sun elevation of a day | 0 … +0,4° | both directions | Apparent elevation includes refraction (≈ +0.2 … 0.3° at the horizon). |
| A | Highest sun elevation of a day | ±0,1° | both directions | Analytical formula from declination and latitude; 1-min time step. |
| A | Direct irradiance (DNI) vs pvlib | ±1 % | both directions | Same clear-sky model (Ineichen); deviation only from inputs. |
| A | Luminous efficacy (Littlefair) | ±0,001 | both directions | Closed formula, rounding only. |
| B–L | Glare minutes per year | — | both directions | Information. Judged via missed, additional and edge minutes. |
| B–L | Missed glare minutes (≥ 10 % of the lobe on the surface) | 0 | glare missing | If the reference glares with a substantial part of the lobe, the engine must too. Never allowed. |
| D5 | Missed glare minutes at a shadow edge (known) | ≤ 1 Zeitschritt je Tag | glare missing | Model limit (owner 13 Oct 2026, #12): the engine checks the sun shadow of obstacles per 0.5° cell at its centroid. If the shadow of a slender mast falls exactly on the reflecting spot, one time step per day may be missed (the shadow passes the spot once a day). More than one on a day is an error. |
| B–L | Missed glare minutes in total (any lobe fraction) | ≤ max(1 %, 1 Zeitschritt) | glare missing | Single grazing minutes at the edge come from grid and sampling; a systematically missing lobe part does not (finding 17: −10 %). One time step because 1 % of a small sum is less than one step. |
| B–L | Additional minutes, lobe ≤ 0.75° beside the surface (cell margin) | ≤ max(20 %, 2 Zeitschritte) | too much (conservative) | The engine tests the cell centre with half a cell diagonal margin; effective up to one full diagonal (0.71°, rounded to 0.75°). Conservative but bounded: run 2026.10.11-6 had at most 16 % for 64 of 65 observers, one distant observer 32 % (finding 5). |
| B–L | Additional minutes, lobe further beside the surface | 0 | too much (conservative) | Beyond the cell margin there is no reason for glare. |
| B–L | Luminance, largest deviation per minute | ±1 % | both directions | Same formula and profile on both sides. Known only upwards, up to the zone ratio in at most 25 % of the minutes (zone edge, finding 6). Too low is always an error (finding 7 fixed, #10). |
| B–L | Illuminance at the eye, median engine/reference | ±10 % | both directions | Solid angle from calculation points (engine) vs ray sampling (reference). Known only upwards to +25 % (partial sun disc at the edge); too low is always an error. |
| B1 | Mirror luminance | ±0,1 % | both directions | Perfect mirror: sun luminance, analytical. |
| I6 | Fresnel luminance vs Radiance dielectric | ±5 % (Profil in 10°-Stützen) | both directions | The profile has 10° support points, linearly interpolated; Fresnel is curved in between. |
| C, E, H, K | Minutes and lux, transformation without new mesh | 0 | both directions | Same input in another form: bit-near equal. |
| C, E, H, K | Minutes and lux, transformation with new mesh | ≤ 0,5 % | both directions | A re-triangulated mesh moves calculation points by fractions of a cell. |
| M, N, P, R | Hit direction vs mirror image | ≤ Sonnenradius + 0,75° | both directions | Law of reflection with own ray tracing; margin = sun disc + cell margin. |
| L3 | Model: zones vs continuous lobe | ±5 % zur geschlossenen Lösung | both directions | Guard: for a fully seen Gaussian lobe the factor is known in closed form; partial view lowers it by a few percent. |
| L3 | Engine vs model (zones) | −2 % … +15 % | both directions | The engine must not fall below the zone model and may exceed it only by the zone-edge remainder (run 2026.10.11-6: +7 … +9 %). |
| L1, L3 | Model limit, other rows | — | both directions | The simplification is quantified, not judged. Guards are the missed minutes (as in all cases) and, in L3, the factors above. |
| — | Case aborts with an error | ohne Fehler | both directions | An aborted case counts as failed, never silently skipped. |
Runs per calculation state
Every run stays stored unchanged. A report states the version it was calculated with; its test result is listed here.
| Calculation state | Calculation switches | Calculated on | Verdicts | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026.10.13-10 | GC_CROSS_TILT_ZONES | 2026-10-12, 14:55 UTC | 80 5 2 | shown |
D.2 Ways of checking
| Check | What is checked | When |
|---|---|---|
| Automated tests | individual functions of the calculation core, report, editor and billing | on every change, before it is adopted |
| Reference runs | a fixed example installation: two PV areas, three observation points, one of them with a field of view, one obstacle; result as a checksum over all hits | before and after every change to the calculation core |
| Test case catalogue | scenarios from all parts of the calculation, recalculated independently | per calculation state |
Calculation state. Every change that alters results gets a new calculation state identifier. The reference runs show whether a change alters results; if the checksum changes without a new calculation state, that is an error. The test case catalogue is calculated on request for a calculation state; the result is stored per calculation state and not changed afterwards (section D.1).
D.3 References of the test cases
Each test case compares glare minutes, luminance and illuminance at the eye with a reference and a fixed tolerance. Depending on the case, the reference is one of the following:
| Reference | Approach | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical | formula or published reference value | sun position against the reference value of the NREL solar position algorithm; perfect mirror on a façade |
| Radiance, geometry | For each observation point, Radiance traces a bundle of rays, finer than the calculation grid, to the PV areas and on from the hit point to the sky. The photometry is the same documented one as in Ch. V.5. | façade, roof, ground-mounted area, obstacles, terrain, trackers, module types |
| Radiance, material | model against a physical calculation of the material | Fresnel reflection of a smooth surface (n = 1.52) |
| Own ray tracing | law of reflection with an own calculation that uses no code of the calculation engine | façade, roof parallel, ground mount, roof mounted, tracker; dual orientation; observer below and above the lower module edge |
| Second run | two runs whose relation is known, including the same scene with and without a function | area split into parts = undivided; an obstacle behind the area changes nothing; terrain ridge with and without terrain; two runs are bit-identical |
| Documented rule | the rule described in the manual recalculated line by line | no glare from the back side; field of view across north, all-round view, tilt and vertical limits; terrain blocks only in the covered azimuth |
| Report against key figures | the filter in the report and the key figures of the server give the same glare minutes per day | every filter alone and in pairs |
| Independent library | comparison with pvlib | tracker rotation angles, also with backtracking, rotation limit, tilted and rotated axis |
The Radiance reference adopts the model assumptions of the calculation: PV areas do not shade each other, and a ground-mounted area is a closed solid (Ch. VII). How far the solid deviates from real table rows is quantified by the group “Model limits”.
D.4 Test groups
| Group | Topic | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| A | Sun, time, location | reference value, time zones, southern hemisphere, equator, midnight sun, direct irradiance at site altitude |
| B | Geometry of one area | façade, roof, east-west, ground-mounted area, flat roof, view from above, observer close to the area, area smaller than the sun disc |
| C | Several areas | two areas side by side and one behind the other, embankment in between, area split into parts |
| D | Obstacles | wall, building shading the area, raised observer, thin mast, hedge |
| E | Exclusion areas | hole in the area, exclusion at the edge |
| F | Terrain and horizon | hilltop, ground-mounted area on a slope, distant horizon |
| G | Trackers | with and without backtracking, southern hemisphere, angle limit, tilted and rotated axis, east-west axis |
| H | Cross tilt and zones | cross tilt, zone with the same cross tilt |
| I | Module types | standard module and low-glare module, each measured; low-glare module on a ground-mounted area |
| J | Filters | field of view, also towards north; minimum sun elevation |
| K | Invariances | corner order, shifted origin, repeatability |
| L | Model limits | ground-mounted area as a solid against table rows; zones against a continuous lobe |

| N | Features: tracking | tracking angle against pvlib, rotation limit, backtracking and rest angle, tilted and rotated axis |
| P | Features: field of view | inside counts, outside does not; field of view across north, direction 360 = 0; all-round view; tilt and vertical limits |
| Q | Features: report filters | every filter alone and in pairs: report and key figures give the same glare minutes per day |
| R | Features: occlusion and exclusion | terrain ridge in front of and behind the area, gap, point outside the terrain model; obstacle in front of and behind the observer, topography obstacle; exclusion area in a roof and a ground-mounted area |
D.5 Verdicts
| Verdict | Meaning |
|---|---|
| passed | all compared quantities within tolerance |
| documented | deviations outside the tolerance whose cause is known and recorded with the case |
| failed | at least one deviation without a known cause |
| model limit | simplification of the model against a more accurate calculation; the deviation is quantified, not judged |
A known deviation is never silently accepted: it is listed with its cause at the case. If the cause disappears, the case counts as passed again.
D.6 Limits of the verification
Radiance is validated for daylight and diffuse light, not for the specular reflection of the sun on measured module materials. Here it serves as an independent second calculation, not as proven truth.
