Agreed. It's 1/100 with old panels at 1/300 with modern high performance panels, being up to 300w/m.

Edit: solar radiation is only 1.3kw/m2

    Outside earths atmosphere. Only ~650 Watts/m^2 reach the surface of our planet.

    Edit: I posted regurgitating some simplified assumption from a text book or something I must have read in the past, the 650 W/m² is wrong.
