Find how large a solar panel would you need

Reference no: EM13682610

Assume you have a car with a 125-hp engine. Find how large a solar panel would you need to replace the engine with solar power? Assume that the solar panels can utilize 20 percent of the maximum solar energy that reaches the Earth's surface (1000W/m²). 1 hp = 746 W.
