The fundamental quantity for the total solar irradiance is the solar constant J which is determined by the mean Sun-Earth distance and by the energy budget in the interior of the sun. The mean distance is the major semi-axis of the earth orbit and therefore a constant of celestial mechanics. The energy production and transport in the interior of the sun must be constant at least during a Helmholtz-Kelvin period. Actually, the heat budget of the sun is constant during some billion years.
