the sun gives about 15000 kilo calories in one square foot. when it reaches earth it will have the power to glow a 100w bulb.

Solar power has advantages. One advantage of solar power is that solar power can be consistently used for power. Solar energy will never run out. Another advantage of solar power is that the energy is clean. Typical solar panels live for about ten years. Energy payback from a typical installation is about 40 years. As a result, most panels will never give back as much power as they took to build.
130 percent more than wind energy energy
In some parts of the world, there is NO sun (to speak of) for as much as six months! In these areas, solar power is out of the question, unless there is a monstrously large storage system that can hold the energy during the six months of sunlight!
2000mw
solar cells generate electric currents directly from the sun light
Solar panels do not hold power they convert sunlight to electricity. This is stored in batteries or capacitors. The amount would depend on the rating of the capacitor or battery.

I do not think so. There is not much sun at the noth pole is there? And the, solar panel would not get much energy would it?
They have been the most efficient energy source available
In 2012 the annual global solar energy production topped 100 000 Megawatts. That is 274 Megawatts a day. At peak power that is the equivalent of 100 large nuclear power plants.
