The average annual solar radiation arriving at the top of the Earth''s atmosphere is about 1361 W/m . This represents the power per unit area of solar irradiance across the spherical surface surrounding the Sun with a radius equal to the distance to the Earth (1 AU). This means that the approximately circular disc of the Earth, as viewed from the Sun, receives a roughly stable 1361 W/m at all t…
