Basic idea: display a new layer with sun exposure info.

"quick win" solution: add a transparency/opacity layer that gives an idea of the time in the day http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/17184/method-to-shade-or-overlay-a-raster-map-to-reflect-time-of-day-and-ambient-light
less accessible: map the real-time exposure, maybe from a weather API. A visualization idea could be a "hillshade"-like layer ? https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/
