My comment was for the data in the weather file and not for EnergyPlus' specific interpretation of the weather file. If you look at the definition of the global horizontal solar radiation in TMY3 it is "Total amount of direct and diffuse solar radiation received on a horizontal surface during the 60-minute period ending at the timestamp" and the units are Watt-hour per square meter. So if you are comparing back to the weather file this is what you are comparing to.
