[0002] The green energy concept of natural light illumination is gradually entering the public view, and with the deepening of the research on solar lighting technology, people have a deeper understanding of the natural light collection and illumination system. The intensity and angle of the direct sunlight in a day are different at different times of the day, and people can divide the changes of the direct sunlight throughout the day into three illumination stages according to the different angles between the sun and the ground:
[0003] 1. Early morning and evening sunlight: when the sun rises from the eastern horizon and the sun is about to fall below the horizon in the evening, the angle between the sun and the ground is 0°-15°;
[0004] 2. Morning and afternoon sunlight: the angle between the morning and afternoon sunlight and the ground is between 15° and 60°, which usually refers to the light at 8 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the morning and 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the illumination intensity is relatively stable;
[0005] 3. Midday sunlight: also known as top light, which is perpendicular to the ground from top to bottom. The illumination angle of the midday sunlight is often affected by the season, and the midday sunlight in summer is basically perpendicular to the ground at 90°, and the projection of the ground scene is very small, while in other seasons, the sunlight is almost vertically from top to bottom, and in winter, the angle of the sunlight is more biased.
