Re: Rossi "cold fusion" device function confirmed by two Swedish scientists
Yes, but the average solar radiation on the surface of the planet is much lower. The same wiki article notes:
Of course then you have to multiply through the efficiency of solar panels = 15%? 20%? gives you actual harvestable electricity of 0.9 to 1.2 kwh per hour. That's before other losses like conversion to household VDC, transmission losses, etc etc.
None of the other numbers matter except the 230 watts/hour. If the panels are generating 8 hours a day at this level, then you're getting a total of 1.84 Kwh per day.
While I remember your personal electricity usage is quite low, the average American household requires 30 Kwh per day.
Even for me - my monthly 160 to 190 Kwh usage comes out to 5.25 to 6.25 Kwh per day.

Ignoring clouds, the average insolation for the Earth is approximately 250 watts per square meter (6 (kW·h/m2)/day), taking into account the lower radiation intensity in early morning and evening, and its near-absence at night.
