Abstract
An exact solution for a spherically-symmetric model of a magneto-radiative shock wave in the solar wind caused by the explosive energy release of a solar flare has been, obtained in the case when energy released is an increasing function of the time. It has been shown that due to increasing energy, density, pressure, radiation flux, magnetic field and shock velocity change considerably.
