The standard prefix "peta..." has been adopted to signify a factor of 1015 .
So "one peta-something" is 1015 of them, or one million billion of them.
One petawatt is a rate of energy flow corresponding to 1015 joules per second. As you
correctly surmised, that's a rather high rate of moving or dissipating energy.
Exelon Corporation's Braidwood Generating Station, about 60 miles southwest of Chicago,
is a nuclear power station that supplies a major part of the electrical power consumed
in Chicago and the surrounding neighborhood.
Braidwood's two pressurized water nuclear reactors began commercial operation in 1988.
Together, with their pedals to the metal and flat-out wide open, they can generate
2,360 net megawatts of electric power.
One petawatt is the equivalent of 423,729 Braidwoods.
That's a lot of power.

The energy Earth receives from the Sun is often called solar energy. The rate at which this energy arrives at Earth is about 174 petawatts ( 1 petawatt = 1,000 trillion watts) at the upper atmosphere. About 30% is reflected back to space. The sun energy at the Earth's surface is mostly in the visible and near-infrared ranges with a small amount in the near-ultraviolet.
