Average daily solar exposure

Global solar exposure is the total amount of solar energy falling on a horizontal surface. These maps show the average daily solar exposure across Australia for each month and the year. Typical values for daily global solar exposure range from 1 to 35 MJ/m2 (megajoules per square metre). For mid-latitudes, the values are usually highest in clear sun conditions during the summer, and lowest during winter or very cloudy days.
