  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the lastest release of atlite.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the current master branch of atlite.

Issue Description

Normal radiation should probably follow same implementation as with PV. I have more information shared from @awongel . Maybe she also has a fix implementation that we could use.

Research direction

Start by locating the CSP incidence-radiation calculation and comparing its implementation with the corresponding PV calculation on the current master branch. Reproduce the reported behavior, clarify the intended normal-radiation result with the issue participants, and consider the work complete when the CSP calculation follows the agreed behavior and has coverage for the reported case.
