where can I download Solar radiation tables(Solar heat gain factors) for Southern Hemisphere altitudes?
 
are anyone aware of formula/algorithym/spreadsheet
that can calculate the SHF for a certain lattitude for a certain time of the year?
 
Look in ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, Fenestration. There are formulas for computing solar heat gain for any latitude, any time of year.
 
"The Passive Solar Energy Book Expanded Professional Edition" E. Mazria; Rodale Press 1979. ISBN 087857-238-4 page 444 through page 637.... enjoy!!
