Insolation
The most important factor in calculating the power output of a Soalrbowl is the local insolation. Here is a link to a map insolation world map. Once you have the insolation you can calculate the power output, cost etc. If you wish us to do that for you send us a message and we'll get in touch.Size and Power examples
