Can the World’s Worst CD and DVD Manufacturer Do Better with Solar Energy?
1 this guy. said on February 20th, 2009 at 5:10 am A normal Nuclear power plant produces about 1000 MW, a normal car produces about 0.1 MWatt. 40 MWatt is probably how much the plant can produce in a year. So each pannel produced every 50 seconds, is porbably more like a 70 watt pannel (about 0.5 – 1 meter ^2). 2 Matthew Phelan said on February 20th, 2009 at 6:01 am You’re right, this guy. The “110 kW/day” times “365 days/year” yields about 40.15 MW/yr. So, the production line’s output (and not the individual cell’s output) is 40 MW/yr. I deleted the numerical gaffe from the post (probably should have done a strikethrough). Thanks! Good catch! 3 Sunflower said on February 27th, 2009 at 1:31 pm Hi, don’t get me wrong – don’t want to protect any of those companies named above but, after monitoring the thin film PV market for a while, the Swiss based Oerlikon Solar seems to me a well respected enabler of an economically viable green power generation solution.
