Solar radiation calculation on a tilted surface (isotropic sky model)

Extends from SolarRadiationTransformerGeneral (Solar radiation calculation on a tilted surface (general model)).

Information

This model calculates the diffuse solar radiation on a tilted surface after the isotropic sky model of Liu-Jordan and the total incident radation on a tilted surface.

IrrTotTil = IrrDirTil + 0.5 * (1.0 + cosAngleTil) * IrrDifHor + 0.5 * (1.0 - cosAngleTil) * rhoAmb * IrrTotHor

where IrrDirTil stands for the total direct radiation on the tilted surface. cosAngleTil is the cosinus of the tilt angle, the angle formated by the tilted surface and the horizontal ground. IrrDifHor is the total diffuse radiation on a horizontal surface, IrrTotHor is the total radiation on the horizonal surface and rhoAmb is the reflexion factor of the surroundings.
