Applied Science question #3


 
I spotted this large solar panel on a farm from the train to Carlisle. It is not long after you leave Wigton. You can only see the back of it. It is the tilted rectangle on the pole. Assuming that the intensity of the sunlight is 1000W per square metre, calculate the number of Units of electricity generated THIS WEEK. At 12p a Unit, estimate how much money it might save them a year.
