Hello, I am attempting to execute Area Solar Radiation in a stand-alone python script (shown below). The basis for the script was provided in the ESRI tool help. I made a few adjustments to this template by adjusting a few of the local variables and adding try/except etc.The problem is that when I execute the script, it runs for about a minute then fails with an ERROR 999999 (also shown below in quoted script output).Does anyone have an idea on why this may be occurring?# Name: SolarRad_MayJuly.py # Description: Derives incoming solar radiation from a raster surface. # Outputs a global radiation raster and optional direct, diffuse and direct duration rasters # for a specified time period.
