The analysis of solar reflection is the study of how the impact of solar radiation affects the object of study (building or groups of buildings).

The impacting solar radiation refers to the wide spectrum of energies originating in the sun that strike an object or surface. This includes, on one hand, a direct component originating in the sun and another diffuse one originating in the visible part of the sky. Depending on the selected place, it can also contain a third component originating in the reflection on other surfaces.

The objective of solar analysis is to determine the amount of radiation that strikes the building's different surfaces. This allows us to evaluate the best location for implementing a photovoltaic integration in the building, for example.

Solar analysis provides vital information for selecting the materials for the facades of the building, which leads to a better ambient quality in the interior while improving energy efficiency.
