How much power does a solar panel use?

With 1,200W of theoretical power (and probably more like 900W of solid real-world Florida solar energy), that would be a decent flow rate. The panels I used are Pecron's folding panels, which aren't really meant for this type of long-term permanent installation.

How many solar panels can a 2x4 hold?

How can I save money on solar panels?
