We measure [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance Solar Irradiance] as the power per unit area received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation as measured in the wavelength range of the measuring instrument (your solar sensor of your weather station). ''CumulusMX'' stores this in [[Standard_log_files|the monthly logs]] as the value of the ''Solar Radiation'' (field nr 19) at that moment. It is the momentary solar power in W/m<sup>2</sup>. | We measure [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance Solar Irradiance] as the power per unit area received from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation as measured in the wavelength range of the measuring instrument (your solar sensor of your weather station).

The Solar Insolation for a given time period is the integration of the measured Solar Radiation values. Or as the wiki says: | The Solar Insolation for a given time period is the integration of the measured Solar Radiation values. Or as the wiki says: | ||
''Solar irradiance is often integrated over a given time period in order to report the radiant energy emitted into the surrounding environment (joule per square metre, J/m2) during that time period. This integrated solar irradiance is called solar irradiation, solar exposure, solar insolation, or insolation.'' | ''Solar irradiance is often integrated over a given time period in order to report the radiant energy emitted into the surrounding environment (joule per square metre, J/m2) during that time period.
