Why 2015 and why can't i change the year? #3

Do like your plugin, but what is the use of calculating sunhours 7+ years ago when i would like to know what the sunhours for this year, next year, the future holds? Would be much appreciated if one could change the year in a future release/update!

The year is pretty much irrelevant. It barely affects the position of the sun and the plugin doesn't have weather data or anything. The only thing it really affects is which weekday a particular date is, which only matters at all if your configuration excludes some weekdays or analyses them for different times. Even then it hardly makes any difference as the sun's position doesn't change that quickly. Choosing a particular year or analysing several years would be a waste of your time.
