Solar start-up snags $35 million as CIGS ignites

Megawatts as a measurement: "A major, coal-burning power plant can churn out about 500 megawatts a year"

500 Megawatts of power in a year equals 15.85 watts per second, or about the usage of one low power light. The article probably should have used 500 Megawatts per second or calculated the output in Megawatt-hours.; Posted by: MarkLR Posted on: 10/28/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
