1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
The capacity factor is the ratio of an actual electrical energy output over a given period of time to the maximum possible electrical energy output over that period. Nuclear power plants are at the high end of the range of capacity factors
Short circuit current is the current passing through a solar cell when voltage is zero across the solar cell, which happens when a solar cell is short circuited. Usually it is denoted Isc. solar cell have short-circuit currents between about 28 mA/cm² and 35 mA/cm²
