Calculate solar potential for LiDAR point clouds using the 'VOSTOK' (Voxel Octree Solar Toolkit) algorithm. This R program provides an interface to the original 'VOSTOK' C++ implementation by Bechtold and Hofle (2020), enabling efficient ray casting and solar position algorithms to compute solar irradiance for each point while accounting for shadowing effects. Integrates seamlessly with the 'lidR' package for LiDAR data processing workflows. The original 'VOSTOK' toolkit is available at <doi:10.11588/data/QNA02B>.
