What is Solar Radiation
The measurement of solar radiation is based on a rate of kilowatts per square meter, represented as W/m2. This is the measurement standard for scientific data, designed for generating a direct estimate of solar energy – basically, how much sunlight is hitting a particular part of the Earth at any given time. Measurements taken for the purpose of energy production via solar panels and other photovoltaic equipment may be calculated in kilowatt-hours per square meter, or kWh/m2, designed to represent the amount of energy being generated by that sunlight.
