-NREL provides a C implementation of the solar position algorithm described in
-[Reda, I.; Andreas, A. (2003). Solar Position Algorithm for Solar Radiation Applications. 55 pp.; NREL Report No. TP-560-34302](http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy08osti/34302.pdf).
-
-This folder contains the files required to make SPA C code accessible
-to the `pvlib-python` package. We use the Cython package to wrap the NREL SPA 
-implementation. 
-
-** Due to licensing issues, the SPA C files can _not_ be distributed with
-`pvlib-python`. You must download the SPA C files from the
-[NREL website](https://midcdmz.nrel.gov/spa/). **
-
-Download the `spa.c` and `spa.h` files from NREL,  and copy them into the
-`pvlib/spa_c_files` directory. When the extension is built, the ``timezone``
-field in the SPA C files is replaced with `time_zone` to avoid a nameclash
-with the function `__timezone` that is redefined by Python>=3.5. This issue
-is [Python bug 24643](https://bugs.python.org/issue24643).
-
-There are a total of 5 files needed to compile the C code, described below:
-
-* `spa.c`: original C code from NREL 
-* `spa.h`: header file for spa.c
-* `cspa_py.pxd`: a cython header file which essentially tells cython which
-  parts of the main header file to pay attention to
-* `spa_py.pyx`: the cython code used to define both functions in the python
-  namespace. NOTE: It is possible to provide user access to other paramters of
-  the SPA algorithm through modifying this file 
-* `setup.py`: a distutils file which performs the compiling of the cython code
-
-The cython compilation process produces two files:
-* `spa_py.c`: an intermediate cython c file
-* `spa_py.so` or `spa_py.<cpyver-plat>.pyd`: the python module which
-  can be imported into a namespace
-
-To create the SPA Python extension, use the following shell command inside this
-folder:
-
-    $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace
-
-There are four optional keyword arguments `delta_ut1=0`, `slope=30.0`,
-`azm_rotation=-10`, `atmos_refract` that effect four optional return values
-`incidence`, `suntransit`, `sunrise`, and `sunset`. If not given, the defaults
-shown are used.
-
-There is an example in `spa_py_example.py` that contains a test function called
-`spa_calc_example` that users can use to check that the result is consistent
-with expected values:
-
-    >>> from spa_py_example import spa_calc_example
-    >>> r = spa_calc_example()
