Does it take more time for a solar panel to produce the same amount of energy you would quickly generate with a normal electrical outlet?
A standard electric outlet is 120 Volts and will produce up to 20 AMPS. One average solar panel will produce maybe 100 Watts at peak power (The sun at just the right angle on a very clear day). 100 Watts is like one(1) light bulb of light. The wall outlet will produce maybe enough power for 24 of those same light bulbs, and will do it 24 hours a day. Power (Watts) = Voltage X Amps
