4 159 514 Giga watt Hours annually (X1000 = MWH x1000 again =KWH) or 475GWH aveage daily output Interestingly if you wanted to generate this amount of power using solar thermal power stations at todays prices, it would cost $4.75 Trillion dollars! This sounds like an awful lot until you look at the Iraq War which has so far cost $3 trillion. So if the budget for Iraq had been invested in Solar, there would be at least 63% of US electricity coming from the sun, but probably more with economies of scale and technological improvements.
