For "solar noon", "太陽正午" may not be a widely-used term, but I couldn't find other ways of saying. You may say "太陽時における正午" or "太陽時の正午".

: 生半可な知識で論じてお恥ずかしい限りです。お詫びします。ですがnoonは「正午」であって「南中」であればculminationもしくはsouthingとなるはずです。

「太陽の南中時刻」の方が「太陽時の正午」よりも定義がはっきりしませんか？

tappi_k
: Hiromasa is right here; although 正午 would be the most literal translation of 'noon', in the case of solar noon we are talknig about positioning of the sun. 正午 signifies 'midday' and therefore doesn't refer to location of the sun.
