How much space required for 1mw electricity produce from solar plant?

2 acres is ~8000 square meters, which is around 90m2.
Of course, this depends on the insolation of the site - how much sun falls on the PV panels - and the efficiency of the panels, which for commercial panels is around 20% as of early 2013.
Higher latitudes - closer to the poles - have lower insolation; within temperate regions (20-40º from equator), the range is 3.0-6.6 kWh/day/m2, with winter varying to 50-65% of summer in these ranges.
I've not yet been able to determine the relationship between insolation and the area required for 1MW of output from PV.

How do space stations obtain electricity?
They have solar panels to produce electricity.
How is solar panels cheaper?
Solar panels are cheaper because your consistently producing your own electricity by using solar panels. If you produce more electricity then the electric company will pay you.
What are three ways that solar energy can be used?
There are two main types of solar energy. Solar Thermal - Used for heating water Solar Photovoltaic (PV) - Used for producing electricity Solar Thermal is very prevalent in the Leisure industries where a steady stream of hot water is required for showers etc. Solar Photovoltaic systems are used on homes as they can produce enough electricity to power most household appliances, during daylight hours. There are also solar torches and solar lights. These work by storing the electricity during the day where you are then able to use it at night.
Why are only solar cells used as a power source in satellites?
Solar panels must be constantly exposed to light to produce electricity
How will solar technology help astronauts?
because when there in space they could use the suns energy to produce electricity for there space shuttle.
How do solar panel produce electricity?
The solar panels produce electricity by the sunlight.
Can solar energy be used for electricity?
Solar energy can be used to produce electricity.
Does a solar panel produce more electricity then it takes to make the panel?
Probably because a solar panel can produce electricity for many years.
What do solar plants do?
the solar power plant generates electricity
How can you produce cheap electricity?
Solar electricity is the most inexpensive form of electricity. Once the solar panels are installed, the solar power is free. There is also wind energy to produce a low cost electric source.
How do you produce solar electricity?
Capture the sun
How do space stations obtain electricity?
They have solar panels to produce electricity.
What do fuel cells batteries and solar cells have in common?
They all produce static electricity.
What do solar power plants do?
the solar power plant generates electricity
How is solar energy transferred?
Solar energy is radiation that comes from the sun. It can generate electricity and produce heat. They convert solar radiation into electricity.
How is electricity current produce a sources of electricity?
by using electrons to solar energy
What plant organelle produce solar energy to produce chemical energy for surviving?
No plant organelle produces solar energy. Only the sun produces solar energy.
