The solar constant is the radiant flux density at a spherical surface centered on the Sun having a radius equal to that of the Earth's mean orbital radius; it has a value of 0.133-0.14 W/cm2. If we assume an average wavelength of about 700 nm, how many photons at most will arrive on each square meter per second of a solar cell panel just above the atmosphere?
