Ladybug hourly solar radiation for different facades

Good evening everyone,

I’m working on obtaining hourly incident radiation values for the facades of multiple buildings. As shown in the image, for Building 1’s south facade, for example, I’m only receiving a single value, the same is happening with Building 2, whereas Building 3 is giving me around 4000 values. What I need is 8760 values for each individual facade. The EPW file clearly says that there are 8760 values.
This is just a test file with 3 buildings, but my final analysis will be at an urban scale with over 300 buildings, which is why I’ve automated the naming of the buildings.

Could anyone please advise on how to extract hourly data for each surface of every building?

Thank you!

Hi @soukyj!
Could you re-upload the file with the geometry internalized here:

Hello @TrevorFedyna,

Thank you for willing to help. I actually figured out how to do it.
I used path mapper in order to rearrange the tree that gave me the hourly values for every single facade.
This is the link in case anyone wants to have a look: Grasshopper Data Tree - Path Mapper is a BADASS- Learn Grasshopper (bimcorner.com)

Thank you!
