Converting solar radiation into electrical power

Reference no: EM1322182

As shown in the figure, sunlight is coming straight down (negative z-direction) on a solar panel (of length L = 1.51 m and width W = 0.930 m) on the Mars rover Spirit. The amplitude of the electric field in the solar radiation is = 673 V/m and is uniform (the radiation has the same amplitude everywhere). If the solar panel has an efficiency of 16.1 % in converting solar radiation into electrical power, how much average power can the panel generate?
