'What is solar insolation?'
"The amount of electromagnetic energy (solar radiation) incident on the surface of the earth. Basically that means how much sunlight is shining down on us."http://www.apricus.com/html/solar_collector_insolation.htm
SOLAR INSOLATION
"Insolation (Incoming Solar Radiation) is the amount of solar radiation incident on any surface – for our purposes, we will be comparing insolation levels on the surface of the Earth. The amount of insolation received at the surface of the Earth is controlled by the angle of the sun, the state of the atmosphere, altitude, and geographic location."--http://www.solarpanelsplus.com/solar-insolation-levels/
