On clear day, sunlight delivers approximately 1000 J each second to a 1 m2 surface; smaller areas receive proportionally less—half the area receives half the energy. A 12% efficient solar cell, a square 15 cm on a side, is in bright sunlight. How much electric power does it produce?A. 0.9 W B. 1.8 W C. 2.7 W D. 3.6 W
The average intensity of sunlight on earth's surface is 700 W/m2. Madison has an area of 263 km2. Calculate the amount of energy that falls on Madison in 3 hr.
The sun generates 1kw/m2 when used as a source for solar collectors. A collector with an area of 1m2 heat water. The flow rate is 3.0 liters/min. What is the temperature rise in water? The specific heat of water is 4200 J/kg . 0C

- (a) Calculate the power per square meter reaching Earth's upper atmosphere from the Sun. (Take the power output of the Sun to be 4.001026 W.) (b) Part of this is absorbed and reflected by the atmosphere, so that a maximum of 1.30 kW/m2 reaches Earth's surface. Calculate the area in km 2 of solar energy collectors needed to replace an electric power plant that generates 750 MW if the collectors convert an average of 2.00% of the maximum power into electricity. (This small conversion efficiency is due to the devices themselves, and the fact that the sun is directly overhead only briefly.) With the same assumptions, what area would be needed to meet the United States' energy needs (1.051020J) ? Australia's energy needs (5.41018J) ? China's energy needs (6.31019J) ?
