2. Power available from the Sun
Sun outputs 3.9 X 1023 kW, intensity of 6.58 X 107 W/m2.
At GEO (Geosynchronous Earth Orbit), intensity = 1420 W/m2.
1 m2 of solar cells will have a potential power of 1420 W.
On Lunar Surface, intensity = 1415 W/m2.
1 m2 of solar cells will have a potential power of 1415 W.
