The solar constant is the measure of the amount of solar electromagnetic radiation (solar energy) received per unit area at a distance of one astronomical unit (AU) from the Sun, in a plane perpendicular to the rays of the Sun. As of current understanding, the solar constant is approximately 1,361 watts per square meter (W/m²).
