SOLAR RADIATION
The GroWeather displays the current solar radiation intensity, the daily inci-
dent solar energy total, and the average daily incident solar energy per day
during the period. (Note that this manual refers to incident solar energy as sim-
ply solar energy.) Solar radiation is displayed in Watts per square meter
(W/m
2
) and solar energy is displayed in Langleys (Ly).
