Calculating PV Panel Area and Installed Power for 3000 kWh/year Production

[readaynrand]

Homework Statement

a) What is the PV panel area needed to produce 3000 kWh/year when the global irradiance is 850 kWh/m^2 year, and the conversion efficiency is 13%?

b) What is the installed power in kWp that the PV panels must provide, assuming a conversion of 850 kWh/kWp year (kilowatt hours per year per kilowatt peak rating)?

2. The attempt at a solution

a) Easy peasy, A=27,15 m^2

b) No idea what I'm asked to do here... What does the p stand for?
