US annual average solar energy received by a latitude tilt photovoltaic cell (modeled).

Insolation is a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area and recorded during a given time. It is also called solar irradiation and expressed as hourly irradiation if recorded during an hour, daily irradiation if recorded during a day, for example. The unit recommended by the World Meteorological Organization is MJ/m² (megajoules per square meter) or J/mm² (joules per square millimeter). Practitioners in the business of solar energy may use the unit Wh/m² (watt-hours per square meter). If this energy is divided by the recording time in hours, it is then a density of power called irradiance, expressed in W/m² (watts per square meter).
