Solar radiation (irradiance) was measured on a horizontal surface, GH = 564 W/m2. What would the irradiance be if the surface was tilted 35° with the horizontal and the surface azimuth was due South? Assume the location is Taos, New Mexico, the time is noon (solar time), and the date is January 11.
