Can someone who's better than me at math help me figure something out for a short story
The solar constant is 1.361 kW/m² at 1 AU (the amount of solar energy that falls on a square meter). This figure obeys the inverse square law. How far away from the sun would 100 km² of 100% efficient photovoltaic panels need to be in order to collect a terawatt of energy? What equation can I use to play with these variables (distance from sun and surface area of solar panels)?
