[GRASS-dev] Proposed new GRASS add-ons

[Thomas Huld]

Dear All,

I would like to propose three new GRASS add-on raster modules, all based on
the r.sun module:

r.pv: calculate photovoltaic module power output
r.suntrack: calculate solar radiation on sun-tracking surfaces
r.sunyear: calculate optimum inclination for maximum insolation over the
year

These modules are part of the PVMAPS software and data set:

http://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvmaps

which contains these modules together with scripts, a manual and a large
amount of data to run these modules. The data are also useful for running
r.sun.

The methods underlying the modules have been described in a paper accepted
for publication in Solar Energy:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038092X16306089

Since I am not terribly familiar with contributing to GRASS I have attached
the source code. I have tried to follow the recommendations for source code
and HTML pages, but I have probably forgotten something.

Is there anything serious I have forgotten before committing the new
modules to the repository?

Cheers,

Thomas
