I have to agree. Questionable source. I think he meant to start with a spectrum like the ones that CSIRO produce for solar panel design which plot W/m2 v wavelength and work back from there to photon flux (which is what we in spectroscopy call intensity). Instead I think he's started with a normal intensity (photon flux) spectrum and divided it by the Plank energy, but I am surmising. There's not enough rigorous logic in the article to decipher it properly.
