There are a few issues:

  • Ref 2 seems to not exist anymore. Here's an archive.org backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20240424224453/http://solardata.uoregon.edu/SolarRadiationBasics.html
  • I am guessing the following reference should probably be added for method='spencer': J. W. Spencer, "Fourier series representation of the position of the sun" in Search 2 (5), p. 172 (1971)
  • Duffie & Beckman could also be a relevant reference for method='spencer', but I don't think the 2nd edition (i.e., the cited edition) actually has it. I believe some later editions do.
