What does it produce?

Energy vs. Power
  • Power – Power is the rate at which work is performed or energy is converted. As a rate of change of work done or the energy of a subsystem, power is measured in watts.
  • Energy – The power measured in a long period of time. The energy it’s measured in KWH-Kilowatt per hour.
How many Watts are?

X volts amperes watts = V x I W

Voltage - Electric potential difference, measured in Volts (Watts per Ampere or Joules per Coulomb)

Ampere - An ampere is the unit used to measure electric current. Current is defined as the flow of electric charge through a cross-sectional area per unit of time.

Power - is the rate at which work is performed or energy is converted. It is an energy per unit of time.

Where does it come from?

Solar energy is irradiated from the sun in the form of electromagnetic waves. P is the average power, measured in watts. The kilowatt-hour, kWh, is a unit of energy equal to 1000 watt-hours or 3.6 mega joules.

Irradiates electrical current

Standard Test Conditions (STC)

Irradiates = Irradiates = 1000 watts per square meter m² or 1 KW/m²
