Where are you finding that an acre of solar will generate 350 Mwh of power? My local solar power plant is nowhere near that kind of output. http://newsroom.fp

My local solar power plant is nowhere near that kind of output.

- HPsquared 5y agoCompare "megawatt-hours generated per year" to "megawatts of installed capacity". Very different measurements.
- rfrey 5y agoThe linked article says 900 MWh from a 40 acre installation.

- HPsquared 5y agoThat's storage capacity, not annual generation. Again note the units: MWh, compared to MWh/year.
- helloguillecl 5y ago"When it comes to solar energy per acre, a photovoltaic solar plant which on average produces 1 GWh per year, will require around 2.8 acres of land. Therefore, we can say that for every acre, the plant produces an average of 0.357 GWh or 357 MWh of energy per year."
