It is measured facing (pointing at / parallel to) the incoming sunlight (i.e. the flux through a surface perpendicular to the incoming sunlight; other angles would not be TSI and be reduced by the dot product). [3] The solar constant is a conventional measure of mean TSI at a distance of one astronomical unit (AU).
