A solar panel of 2 m² in full sunlight of 1 kW/m² and 20 per cent efficiency delivers

  • A.2 kW
  • B.200 W
  • C.40 W
  • D.400 W

Answer: D

Correct answer: 400 W

\[ 2\ \mathrm{m^2} \times 1000\ \mathrm{W/m^2} \times 0.20 = 400\ \mathrm{W}. \] The power density is multiplied by the area to give the power intercepted, 2 kW, and then by the efficiency to give what is delivered. Applying the efficiency without the area, or the area without the efficiency, produces two of the distractors offered.
