The power absorbed by a solar panel varies directly with its area. If an 8 square meter panel absorbs 8,160 watts of power, how much power does a 12 square meter solar panel absorb
We need to find the variation constant, k
So we have
P = kA
8160 = 8k divide both sides by 8
1020 = k
So
P = 1020 * 12 = 12,240 watts
