Radiation, Irradiation, Radiance, Irradiance and units.

Not that I want to start a long lecture about the difference between the 4 terms, but the term Solar "Radiation" is scientifically incorrect in this context. Yes I know Ecowitt in their OEM user interface also got it wrong.

But it should be be Solar "Irradiance" in this case. And unit is correct, but could be better written W/m² (superscript 2) instead of ^2. That is also written wrong in the Ecowitt OEM user interface of GW1100 as w/m². Watts units symbol is All-caps.
