8. A floating PV power plant consists of 1000 panels, each of which is rated at 200 W at 1000 W/m². The efficiency of the panels is 0.2. At noon on a certain day the solar radiation on the horizontal is 250 W/m² at an angle of incidence of 45º. a. Suppose the panels are horizontal. How much power do the panels produce (kW)? b. How much area of the sea surface do the panels cover (m?)? c. The panels are all tilted towards the south at an angle of 45°. What is the power output now (kW)?
