On average, the solar energy radiated by the sun on 1 square meter of the Earth's surface in Canada is about 1000 watt-hours per square meter per day. This value varies depending on several factors such as location, season, and weather conditions.
The typical power output from the sun on one square meter of the Earth's surface, under clear conditions at noon, is approximately 1,000 watts per square meter. This value, known as solar irradiance, can vary based on factors such as atmospheric conditions, angle of sunlight, and geographic location. On average, considering day and night and weather variations, the daily solar energy received is about 5 to 7 kWh per square meter.
The intensity of sunlight reaching Earth is approximately 1,000 watts per square meter at the top of the atmosphere. However, this intensity can vary based on factors such as time of day, location, and atmospheric conditions.
To convert a measurement from milliwatts per square meter (mW/m2) to watts per square meter (W/m2), you need to divide the value in milliwatts by 1000. This is because there are 1000 milliwatts in 1 watt.
The solar constant is an expression of the amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth's upper atmosphere. It represents the power per unit area received from the Sun at a distance of one astronomical unit (AU) from Earth. It is typically measured to be about 1,366 watts per square meter.
None. Watts is unit of power. Square meter is unit of area.
The conversion factor from lux to watts per square meter (W/m2) is 1 lux 1 watt per square meter.
The amount of time it takes to generate 375 watts of energy with a 1 square meter solar panel depends on the efficiency of the panel and the amount of sunlight it receives. On average, a good quality solar panel can produce about 100-200 watts per square meter, so generating 375 watts may take a few hours under optimal conditions.
The amount of power you get depends on a number of factors, including the efficiency of the solar panels. Ideally, the energy of sunlight would be about 1366 watts per square meter, but losses do to such things as the atmosphere reduce this to a practical limit of about 1000 watts. If a solar panel of one meter is 10% efficient, then this means you would get about 100 watts. New technologies are achieving efficiencies approaching 50%, which would produce 500 watts; but some older panels were only 6% efficient. Since you ask about watts, I am assuming you mean photovoltaic panels. Solar thermal collectors are more efficient, but do not produce electricity.
That's not a special kind of light - you can do that with any light. The power per area (e.g., watts per square meter is a measure of INTENSITY.
Watts is a unit of power (energy per time). Square meter is a unit of area (length squared). These units are not convertible between each other.
The earth receives an average of 164 watts per square meter from the sun. This is the average spread over the world including poles and tropics, night and day. The energy in units used commonly in commerce (kilowatt-hours) would be about 45 millionths of a kilowatt hour per second per square meter. More important is the calculation of how much usable energy reaches the ground where the energy could be put into use. At 40 degrees latitude (the rough middle of the US) during the 8 peak hours of the daylight, each square meter will receive about 4.8 kilowatt hours.

Yes! There is about 375 watts per meter of available energy from our sun that makes the ground. At 170K feet that number increases to over 1000 watts. That is one reason that cells work for NASA and never produce useful levels of power on earth.
