160 in series

137.2 V

V_imp: 29.3 V

Ilsc: 8.60 A

I_Imp: 8.02 A

Dimensions (mm/in): 1000 x 1600 x 50 mm / 39.4" x 63" x 2"

Weight: 10 kg / 22 lbs​

Answer:

P ≈ 235 Watts

Explanation:

Formula for power is;

P = IV

Now, for maximum power, we will make use of I_imp and V_imp given

Thus, P = I_imp × V_imp

We are given;

V_imp: 29.3 V

I_Imp: 8.02 A

Thus: P = 8.02 × 29.3 = 234.986 Watts

We are to approximate to the nearest whole watt.

Thus: P ≈ 235 Watts
