Solar altitude and azimuth angles on location (latitude and longitude), date and time

Hello,

We need to test a model of PV grid on power production udner shadint, etc. For that we need also a model of solar radiation - i.e. how to obtain solar angles (altitude and azimuth) on that particular location (latitude and longitude in degrees), on a particular date (mm.dd) and in a particular moment of time (hh:mm).
Has someone made the VI already and is willing to share it?

Thanks in advance,

R

Didn't make this, but the calculations seems doable. Just pointing this out, if you are aware of this, feel free to ignore. Btw. the link to the file is broken, but it doesn't seem to be used in the program. I think it follows the same steps as the wiki.
