Question: For this problem, use the following assumptions: 1 month = 3 0 days The power company charges you 2 0 cents for each kW hr

For this problem, use the following assumptions:
1 month =30 days
The power company charges you 20 cents for each kW hr of electricity used.
Solar panels generate electricity for 6 hours per day (this accounts for night, bad weather, and the fact that the sunlight hits the panels at less than the optimal angle most of the time).
During this 6 hours per day, assume that every square meter of solar panel has 1000 W of energy incident on it, from the sunlight.
a. Each month, the power company sends you a bill for an average of $165 for the electrical energy you use, which is measured in kilowatt - hours (kW hr). How much energy does this correspond to each month?
_______ kW hr
b. You install a system of solar panels on your roof, aiming to generate 100% of the energy you use in a month. Assuming the panels have an efficiency of 21%(that is, for every 1 kW hr of solar energy incident on the panels, only 21% can be converted to electrical energy), what area of solar panels do you need to install?
_______ m^2
