 <P>Currently, there are two modes of r.sun.
 In the first mode it calculates solar incidence angle and solar irradiance
 raster maps using the set local time. In the second mode daily sums of solar
-irradiation [kWh.m-2.day-1] are computed for a specified day. </p>
+irradiation [Wh.m-2.day-1] are computed for a specified day. </p>
