You'll get refraction effects when the sun is low to the horizon i.e. when
the light is going through lots and lots of atmosphere.  At this time though
you'll not get much heat/light from it so it's useless for generation
purposes.  All the rest of the time the sun will move at the same angular
rate across the sky as the planet rotates past it.
