> A quick search gives us a figure of 220 watts of power per square meter of space based solar panel. This would mean a 200MW solar collector would need to be almost a million square meters in size. For reference that would be a square the length of 155 NYC city blocks on each side. 200MW/(220w/m2) gives us an area of 1,000,000m^2, a square 1000m on each side. (side note: a NYC block isn't a very good length reference - they vary[1] from 250ft to 750ft depending which direction you're measuring. So the square would be 4 to 12 blocks on each side) [1] https://streeteasy.com/blog/how-many-nyc-blocks-are-in-one-m... |
