Do the Solar Pathfinder diagrams account for Daylight Savings Time or real solar hours?
A. The sunpath diagrams show real solar time and will not necessarily line up with “clock time”. Adjustments need to be made for Daylight Savings Time, what month it is, where you are in the time zone itself, etc. A detailed description of how to calculate the difference between “solar time” and “clock time” is given in the Solar Pathfinder manual.
