  7. Ivanpah Solar Power Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility

    The local irradiance near the area is about 7.4 kWh/m 2 /day [49] [50] (annual average) for a total solar energy flow in the visible spectrum of 2.717 MWh/m 2 yearly. One heliostat mirror is a 75.6 square feet (7.02 m 2) reflecting surface, [51] giving a total of 151.2 square feet (14.05 m 2) per heliostat.

  8. Solar constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_constant

    Solar irradiance spectrum at top of atmosphere, on a linear scale and plotted against wavenumber. The solar constant (G SC) measures the amount of energy received by a given area one astronomical unit away from the Sun. More specifically, it is a flux density measuring mean solar electromagnetic radiation (total solar irradiance) per unit
