The .rdd file contains a list of all the variables available to you (the rdd file is created only if you specify it to be created). If there exists no suitable output variable as you described, then you could either do your own post processing (as you do now or with another program or script self created) or lastly employ an EMS code into your idf.

This is just not a smart way to work.
So, may I ask if there is an output variable that can report "Surface Outside Face Incident Solar Radiation Rate/Energy [W/J](Hourly)".
If not, how to do the above calculation in an efficient way in E+?
Thank you in advance!
