Determine total solar energy that panel would receive in day

Reference no: EM13556342

The intensity of radiation from a distant source like the Sunvaries inversely with the square of the distance from thesource. At the top of Earth's atmosphere the solar intensity(power per unit area) is 1.35 kW/m². If a spaceship with a solar panel of area 125 m² were halfway between the Sun and Earth, determine the total solar energy that the panel would receive in a day. Express your answer in kilowatt hours and in joules.
