Solar irradiance

OverviewOn Earth''s surfaceTypesUnitsAt the top of Earth''s atmosphereApplicationsSee alsoBibliography

Average annual solar radiation arriving at the top of the Earth''s atmosphere is roughly 1361 W/m . The Sun''s rays are attenuated as they pass through the atmosphere, leaving maximum normal surface irradiance at approximately 1000 W/m at sea level on a clear day. When 1361 W/m is arriving above the atmosphere (when the Sun is at the zenith in a cloudless sky), direct sun is about 1050 W/m, and global radiation on a horizontal surface at ground level is about 1120 W/m . The latter figure includes radiatio

What is Solar Irradiance?

Solar irradiance comes in different forms because electromagnetic radiation from the Sun doesn''t hit all surfaces uniformly. Every location on Earth receives sunlight, although in high latitudes,

Direct, Diffuse and Reflected Radiation

When the sky is clear and the sun is very high in the sky, direct radiation is around 85% of the total insolation striking the ground and diffuse radiation is about 15%.

Solar irradiance

The output of, for example, a photovoltaic panel, partly depends on the angle of the sun relative to the panel. One Sun is a unit of power flux, not a standard value for actual insolation.
