A solar panel of length L and width W produces 28.4
kWh in a day. Under the same conditions (i.e. the
same amount of solar energy available and the same
efficiency) a solar panel of length 2L and width 2W
would produce how many kWh in a day? Round off
your answer to 2 decimal places, but do not write the
unit.
The average electricity consumption of a house in Gainesville is known to be
924 kWh in a month (One month = 30 days). They would like to install solar
panels of 24 % efficiency to generate this electricity. Given that the average
solar power density in Gainesville is 5.47 kWh/m2/day, how much surface area
must the panels occupy? Calculate the result in m² but do not write the unit.
Round off you answer to a whole number (zero decimal place.)
