A: * Sharp NT-R5E1U size / capacity: 14 sq feet, 175 watts. * Capacity of a square mile of NT-R5E1U's (no link, use a calculator): 350 megawatts * Capacity of, say, Delaware covered in NT-R5E1U's: 868 gigawatts * US power grid capacity: 776 gigawatts IE, you'd need less than 1% of Texas using off-the-shelf solar cells to equal the power generating capacity of the entire US grid. ---- vertical multijunction (VMJ) cell http://wire0.ises.org/wire/glossary.nsf/H/O?Open&00005F7E ---- http://www.ensargroup.com/ ---- {{lrg_solar_car.jpg}} from; http://blog.modernmechanix.com/ ---- related: [[Renewable Energy]] / / [[Category Energy]] Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
