Description: 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>.
