You are designing a spacecraft going to Mars. For the on-board electronics, you need a minimum amount of power in order to function properly. The power is generated by solar cells that have a total surface area of 6.5 m2. From satellites orbiting Earth, you know that the maximum power that these solar panels can generate is 800 W. What is the efficiency of the solar cells?
