"degrees Fahrenheit" is a measure of temperature, not heat.
The total amount of energy received at ground level from the sun at the zenith is 1004 watts per square meter, which is composed of 527 watts of infrared radiation, 445 watts of visible light, and 32 watts of ultraviolet radiation.

Heat isn't measured in degrees Fahrenheit or any of the temperature scales.
Heat is measured in BTUs and BTU/hour (if talking about rate of heat), in the US customary system.
