Hi,
How would I convert the irradiance given on a surface to kilowatt hours?
(Sorry for the dumb question :D)
Chris
not sure I understood your question, however:
100 kW/sqm -> take the area of the surface (10sqm) then you get 1'000 kW
then find the time interval (7 hours, may be) and kW h = 7'000
if you need to integrate during the day you need the average in kW for a
given time period and multiply for that....
is it this your question?

I guess my question is 'in what units is the irradiance (-i) given in Radiance'?

ooops....
well I believe that the irradiance Radiance gives you is referred only to
the visible spectrum....
unless you use some trick... (but I could be wrong...)
may be you wish to check some interesting works about the matter:
http://www.dream.unipa.it/dream/pub/dot/anselmo/radiance/05.php
and
R. Compagnon, D. Raydan, Irradiance and illuminance distributions in urban
areas
Proceedings of PLEA 2000, Cambridge (UK), July 2000, editors: K. Steemers
and S. Yannas, James & James (Science Publishers) Ltd, London, 2000.
hope this is more usefull...
cheers
giulio
