To determine how efficiently carbon photoionization in sunlight may populate excited C II levels, multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock wave functions for C(+) (Dankwort and Trefftz, 1978) were used to set up a close coupling calculation for the free and bound states of neutral carbon. Photoionization rates in sunlight at 1 AU for ionization from the C I ground state into the different C(+) states are (in units of 10 to the -9th per sec): 540 for 2s(2)2p (2)P(0), 13.5 for 2s2p(2) (4)P, 1.05 for 2s2p(2) (2)D, 0.13 for 2s2p(2) (2)S, and 1.87 for 2s2p(2) (2)P.
