Corrected misplaced decimals for H2 mass and volume conversions.

| Jun 9, 2018 at 14:32 | comment | added | Joshua | One more thing to do. What if they found some dumb way to get the solar panel up to carnot efficiency? Hint: it's still too low. | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 12:08 | comment | added | juhist | @Kyle You are right, a 200W solar panel produces 200W of electricity at direct sunlight. The input energy of said direct sunlight is about 1000 W - 1300 W depending on the efficiency of the panel. This is how solar panels are rated, so yes, the solar panel output rating already takes into account the efficiency of the panel. | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 6:33 | comment | added | Kyle | Doesn't the solar panel output rating already account for the efficiency of the panel? Not that it really changes the conclusion; as far as I can tell the average American household uses about 1.2 kW of power (~10500 kWh/year), so powering a house with a single 200 W panel is clearly ridiculous. | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 4:10 | comment | added | ElderBug | Your quora source is full of mistakes. 0.003kg of H2 per hour is correct, but 0.003kg is 3 grams, not 0.3. And 3 grams of hydrogen is 33 Liters (33000cc), not 33cc. So 20% of 200W would generate over 8000cc per hour. Not that it changes anything, the whole claim is insane anyway. | |
