 > At zenith, sunlight provides an irradiance of just over 1 kilowatt per square meter at sea level. Of this energy, 527 watts is infrared radiation, **445 watts is visible light**, and 32 watts is ultraviolet radiation. -- [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared|wikipedia]]
-Mono panels can capture about 15-20% of this energy.  Poly panels capture 13-16%, and film panels capture 9%.
