What would be total area of solar cells necessary to meet

Reference no: EM13341947

Electrical power generation is one of the largest sources of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions are not associated with solar cell power sources. Consider the design of a solar-powered alternate power generation infrastructure that could maintain sufficient electrical power to meet current US annual demand. What would be the total area of solar cells necessary to meet these power demands, including nighttime consumption and system inefficiency?
