Solar Panel Efficiency
If I have a solar panel 0.1m by 0.1m with an efficiency of 10%, how much power would it produce?
This is in direct sunlight, but also, how much power would it produce if i left it on a windowsill behind a double glazed window?
I know its a very small amount – but i would quite like to know what that small amount is.
You can get about 10 watts per square foot, or 100 per square meter, so you are at about the 1 watt level. That is in direct bright sunlight with the panel at right angle to the sun’s rays.
