Solar Power?
Question:
World Solar Production
Total peak power of installed solar panels is around 5,300 MW as of the end of 2005. (IEA statistics appear to be underreported: they report 2,600 MW as of 2004, which with 1,700 installed in 2005 would be a cumulative total of 4,300 for 2005). These figures include only photovoltaic generated power and not that produced by other solar means. Inclusion of the U.S.'s solar reflector plants would double its total, putting it at the level of the second place country on the list.
Can someone please tell me what the MW stands for?
Answer:
MW = Mega Watt
1 Mega Watt = 1 million watt
Watt is unit of unit of Power. Now if your machine consumes say 1 kw of power and you run it for 1 hr. You will use 1kwh of energy which is what you are charged for the elctric supply co.
MW :mega watts:Unit of electrical power equal to one million watts
