I tried doing this problem, but it was tough, can anyone help me with this? thanks!
At a certain location, the solar power per unit area reaching the Earth’s surface is 200 W/m^2, averaged over a 24-hour day. If you live in a house whose average power requirement is 3 kW and you can convert solar power to electric power with 10% efficiency, how large a collector area will you need to meet all your household energy requirements from solar energy? Will it fit your yard? please explain in simple terms – thanks
