there is many models of calculation of global solar radiation ( Lacis & Hansen, le modèle de Davies & Hay, le modèle de Bird & Hulstrom et celui de Atwater & Ball ) which one does ladybug use?

We are using Radiance to generate the skies. You can check the source code and the documentation from Radiance. For point in time radiation analysis you can use gensky (docs, source) or gendaylit (docs, source). If you use Honeybee for annual analysis then it is using gendaymtx (docs, source).

I used ladybug 1.7 for solar radiation analysis but when the componment is moved to honeybee i cannot calculate solar radiation. I have errors!! honeybee error why honeybee doesn't distinguish between componment for solar radiation analysis and daylight analysis ?
