The Earth intercepts a lot of solar power: 173,000 terawatts. That’s 10,000 times more power than the planet’s population uses. So is it possible that one day the world could be completely reliant on solar energy? Richard Komp examines how solar panels convert solar energy to electrical energy.

How solar energy got so cheap, and why it's not everywhere (yet)
A lot speaks for solar energy. It's clean, renewable – and now even cheaper than energy from fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. Sounds pretty great, right? But it only makes up a tiny bit of global electricity production. Why don't we use a lot more of it yet?
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

How Much Energy Does a 100 Watt Solar Panel Produce?
I tested a 100 watt solar panel over the course of a week (well...10 days, actually) to shed insight on how much energy 100W solar panels can produce.
If you have a solar panel or solar array, what kind of energy production are you seeing from it? I'd be curious to hear, so maybe leave a comment!
~
MY SETUP
I used a 100W 12V Renogy Monocrystalline Solar Panel and a Victron MPPT Charge Controller. I monitored the battery’s state of charge with a Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor to ensure the battery never reached full charge. When it got close to full, I’d turn on some loads to discharge it. I’m happy to say the charge controller was in the Bulk charge stage for 100% of the test! I ‘mounted’ the solar panel at the optimal tilt and azimuth angles for my location (Georgia) and time of year...

I monitored the battery’s state of charge with a Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor to ensure the battery never reached full charge. When it got close to full, I’d turn on some loads to discharge it. I’m happy to say the charge controller was in the Bulk charge stage for 100% of the test! I ‘mounted’ the solar panel at the optimal tilt and azimuth angles for my location (Georgia) and time of year (April). Temperatures ranged from the 40s to the 80s. I cleaned the panel twice during the test, and trimmed the grass in front of the panel to prevent shading.
