ne Earth Calculation Worksheet 1. A calculation of the total electricity output of a solar panel system in kilowatts hours (kWh) Use the following steps as a guide to making this calculation. Please show your work for all calculations in the response boxes. 1A . What are the dimensions of the building’s roof in meters? 1800 square meters 1B . What are the dimensions of each solar panel in centimeters? (To convert from inches to centimeters, multiply the dimensions in inches by 2.54 and do not round until the last step of the calculation.) Find the number of centimeters for each dimension. Round to the nearest tenth. 80 inches by 40 inches by 2 inches 1C . How many panels will fit on the roof in each direction? Round down to the nearest whole panel. What is the total number of whole panels that will fit on the roof? Assume the panels are laid out on the roof in this configuration. Drawing is not to scale per the roof’s measurements.; you will need to calculate the number of panels needed given the roof’s actual length and width. 29 panels 29 panels Total Number of Panels: 841 1D . Convert the dimensions of one panel from centimeters to meters. Use these values and the dimensions of the roof in meters to find the area of the panels in meters to make sure that the area covered by of the panels is less than the area of the roof. Round to the nearest thousandth. Area = length x width.

2000 square meters * 1000 sunshine. 1E . How many kW per hour (kWh) of sunlight could be produced per solar panel? Per the entire system (based on how many panels could fit on the roof)? Round to the nearest tenth. 1000KWH. 2000 square meters. 1F . How many hours of sunlight are expected on average per month? Calculate the average hours based on the monthly data provided. Round down to the nearest tenth of an hour. 200 hours of sunlight based on 1E 1. A calculation of the difference between the current electricity usage of the building and the electricity generated by a solar panel system in kilowatt hours and in dollars Use the following steps as a guide to making this calculation. Please show your work for all calculations in the response boxes. 2A . How much electricity does the building use on average annually in watts and in dollars? 176 – marginal revenue product with a quantity of 4 panels. 2B . What is the estimated total amount of kWh produced by the entire solar panel system on this building per year, based on the average monthly sunlight for the area? Hint: You have already calculated this in an earlier question.
