Can external walls gain solar heat flux by the solar load model?

      External walls can only gain direct solar heat flux if they are semi-transparent (with an absorptivity > 0). Opaque walls do not gain any direct solar heat flux. For this purpose, parts of the surrounding have to be modeled, so that solar heat flux can enter through e. g. a pressure inlet.
