 Apps like [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ratana.sunsurveyor|Sun Surveyor]] can help verify the number of hours of sun you will get in a spot/position.  [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UpN5ldB83k8|This video]] is shaky and rotated, but you can see that the app plots the path of the sun across the camera view as you look around.

+== getting sun exposure while hiding from the heat ==
+It is possible to collect some photons while avoiding the heat of the day.  Approaches:
+  * park on the eastern edge of a treeline - you will get full sun until a bit after noon when the sun goes behind the trees for the day.
+  * park on the northern edge of a treeline - you will get sun until later morning when the sun goes behind the trees for midday.  You may get sun again in the afternoon.
+  * augment with portables on long extensions and place them in the sun
