>> Total Surface Area Required to Fuel the World With SolarAugust 13, 2009 No problem as long as you can store it to have it available 24/7. I guess you might need more space for batteries.

WR, About 1000 watts. These people claim to have a 1000 watt panel. Perfect. I clicked on the first link. The specs say that the max power is 290W, and that's for two square meters. You'll never get 290W out of that thing. Best you can hope for is maybe 150W here in the Bay Area in the summer at high noon. Just a bit of advice. If any solar panel sales guy (e.g. the people at Home Depot) tries to tell you otherwise, walk away. Tenchusatsu
