Automating skylights with blinds to block direct sun - eviltoast

Looking for a solution on how to determine when to close and open skylight blinds. I can just do hours of the day but would like it to be a bit more intelligent.

Anyone looked at using something like the math used for solar panels? I was thinking that when max solar power was generated in the summer that is when they are closed to keep heat out.

Ideas?

    If your goal is just to prevent glare from direct sunlight? Maybe a purely passive diffuser is what you’re looking for
