You can then click on each city to get a monthly insolation graph for that particular city. http://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/average-solar-radiation# I clicked on all available cities and printscreened the data, in case the site goes down. I also added

I need a number representing solar energy to feed to the grass, and why not use real numbers? Solar energy is called Direct insolation. It’s measured in kW/m2/day The total amount of sunlight you will receive per square meter depends on the latitude, the weather, the season of the year, and
