Question:

The solar panels on the roof of a house measure 4.0 m by 6.0 m. Assume they convert 12% of the incident EM wave's energy to electric energy.
(a) What average power do the panels supply when the incident intensity is 1.0 kW/m2 and the panels are perpendicular to the incident light?
(b) What average power do the panels supply when the incident intensity is 0.80 kW / m2 and the light is incident at an angle of 60.0 ° from the normal?
(c) Take the average daytime power requirement of a house to be about 2 kW. How do your answers to (a) and (b) compare? What are the implications for the use of solar panels?
