During one week there was cloud cover for 40% of the time and bright sun for the rest. The irradiance averaged 200 W/m2 during cloud cover and 1000 W/m2 during bright sun. Determine the average irradiance for the week

What will be an ideal response?


Average irradiance = 0.4(200 W/m2) + 0.6(1000 W/m2) = 680 W/m2 (during sunlight hours
