Answer:
[tex]A=0.462\ m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Power rating of a solar panel is 1.50 KW/m²
It generates 2.50 MJ in an hour.
We need to find the area of this type of solar panel would be needed. The power pertaining to generate this energy is given by :
[tex]P=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^6}{1\ h}\\\\P=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^6}{3600\ s}\\\\P=694.44\ W[/tex]
Let A be the area of the solar panel. It is calculated as follows :
[tex]\dfrac{P}{A}=1.5\times 10^3\\\\A=\dfrac{694.44}{1.5\times 10^3}\\A=0.462\ m^2[/tex]
So, the required area of the solar panel is [tex]0.462\ m^2[/tex].
