Question

Solar panel measurement is continuous; one side is about 10 meters and the other is about 16 meters.

 

  1. What is the area covered by the solar panels (in square meters)?

 

  1. How much solar power is coming to the solar panels? (state your assumptions)

 

  1. Assume each solar panel is rated for about 100 W of generating capacity. What is the total generating capacity of the whole solar garden?

 

  1. How much power is being generated each day during this period? (based on the table below)

 

  1. What does that indicate about the efficiency of these panels in converting solar energy into electricity?  Compare to your answers for B and C.

Here are some meter readings and the date:
