Heliostat position
Field of heliostat.
Grid of n rows and m columns.
Tower Location.
Center of the cell.
Representative heliostat.
10Visualization iPhone Fall 2009

Shading
Shading occurs at low sun angles when heliostat casts its shadow on a heliostat located behind it.

Blocking
Blocking can be observed in a heliostat field by noting reflected light on the backs of heliostats.

Sun Calculation
Position of the sun.
Accuracy of 0.01 degrees (36 arc seconds) in celestial longitude 2D grid.
Using date, time, north latitude, east longitude and elevation we calculated the vectors
