Goal
90,000,000,000.00 watts of solar energy
Given = 1.366 kW/m^2
90X10^9/1.336=65,885,797,950.22 square meters
Assume 4,046 square meters per acre
65,885,797,950.22/4046 = 16,284,181.40 acres
ratio for the inefficiency of the solar cell
1.4 factor
22,797,853.96 acres could provide 90,000 megawatts
You need an area the size of Nevada.
How much area would be required to capture 90,000 megawatts of electricity
Assume you have a solar panel could capture 60 percent of the radiant energy hitting the earth.
