A much more accurate solar algorithm seems to be from Reda, I.; Andreas, A. (2003):
 +
''Solar Position Algorithm for Solar Radiation Applications. NREL Report No. TP-560-34302,
 +
''Revised January 2008. The algorithm is supposed to work for the years -2000 to 6000,
 +
''with uncertainties of +/-0.0003 degrees.''
 +
In this paper methods have been worked out according to the book from
 +
''Jean Meeus: Astronomical Algorithms, Willmann-Bell, Richmond 2000 (2nd ed., 2nd printing)''
 +
a widely accepted text book for astronomic calculations.
 +
The calculations are, however, quite involved; for Arduino I chose the simpler PSA.
 +
Implementations and references for both algorithms I found thanks to the code from
 +
[http://klaus.e175.net/solarpositioning Klaus Brunner]. It was also a valuable help for debugging
 +
the Arduino implementation.
