Solar power systems are typically either thermal or photovoltaic.
Insolation figures are used as an input for sizing solar power systems to the location where they will be installed. Photovoltaic panels are rated under standard conditions to determine the Wp rating (watts peak), which can then be used with the insolation of a region to determine the expected output, along with other factors such as tilt, tracking and shading (which can be included to create the installed Wp rating).
