How much electricity do solar panels produce?

In: Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

A single photovoltaic cell typically develops a small voltage ... like 1/2 volt ... in full
sunlight, and delivers between 1 milliampere and 2 amperes of short-circuit current
depending on its area.

For more voltage, several cells are connected in series. For more current, several
cells are connected in parallel.

The solar array that powers the International Space Station is capable of 140 kilowatts.
