AB: We review the present state and latest results for theoretical models of the total solar irradiance and certain important irradiance bands. We highlight the ability, or lack thereof, of solar proxy data and models to both represent the irradiance as well as its variability on timescales ranging from days to multiple solar cycles. We also contrast the theoretical models with other types of models that may or may not have a physical basis for the form of the model. We also comment on the degree of redundancy in parts of the solar spectrum and how this could affect what wavelengths and bandpasses in the spectrum are important for observing programs.
