Are there any methods to measure solar radiation on vertical building facades using Esri's Solar Analyst?

1Welcome to GIS SE! As someone new to our site it may help to take the 2 minute Tour to see how it works. There is also some advice available on How to frame a good question? that I would like to recommend to you. When you say "Esri's Solar Analyst" do you mean the Solar Radiation tools from the Spatial Analyst extension? For this question I think knowing the version of ArcGIS for Desktop that you are using will be important.– PolyGeo ♦Commented Nov 4, 2014 at 7:03

Not to my knowledge. There are methods to derive irradiation of facades using raster 2.5D data but they are not out there yet. We plan to release such a tool as a QGIS plugin soon. You can keep a lookout for SEBE, Solar Energy on Building Envelopes.
