How this service works
The sun's azimuth, elevation, shadow ratio and normal-facing panel angles at a coordinate and instant.
Output
Returns the sun's azimuth (compass bearing in degrees), elevation (angle above horizon in degrees), shadow ratio (shadow length relative to object height), and the normal-facing panel angle (optimal tilt for a panel to face the sun directly) for the given latitude, longitude, and instant.
Example use cases
Solar panel installation planning
“I'm installing solar panels at latitude 51.5074, longitude -0.1278 in London. What will the sun's azimuth and the ideal panel-facing angle be at noon on June 21st?”
Architectural shading analysis
“I'm designing a building in New York at lat 40.7128, lon -74.0060. Can you tell me the sun's elevation and shadow ratio on December 21st at 9am so I can plan the shading?”
Real-time sun tracking for photography
“I'm doing outdoor photography in Tokyo right now — lat 35.6762, lon 139.6503. What's the current solar elevation and azimuth so I know where the light is coming from?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fittings.sh/v1/solar/sun-position?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need precise, computed solar geometry data — azimuth, elevation, shadow ratio, and panel normal angles — for a specific coordinate and moment. It is ideal for solar energy planning, architectural shading studies, agricultural timing, photography, and real-time sun tracking. Prefer it over weather APIs that only give daylight hours, and over astronomy APIs focused on planetary data rather than solar geometry.
Side effects
- Missing required lat or lon parameters returns a 400 error
- Latitude out of range (-90 to 90) or longitude out of range (-180 to 180) returns a validation error
- Invalid ISO 8601 format for the 'at' parameter returns a parse error
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Payment failure due to insufficient USDC balance blocks the request
