Let's say we have a 1 square meter solar panel on Earth's surface. The sun is shining brightly and it's the middle of the summer. Let's say this solar panel is 100% efficient.
What is the total power output by this solar panel? How would you go about calculating it? Would it matter if it was summer or winter (in the middle of the day)?
We obviously only have to worry about the visible spectrum because that's all that reaches Earth from the Sun.
