1kW / m^2

I have been helping a co-worker who is putting in solar power backed by
propane generation for his remote cabin. I hadn't ever looked at the exact
numbers, but I remember the number of 1kW / m^2 for solar incidence. Talk
about inflated numbers. The real number is 930 W / m^2 at the equator at
noon. Round to 1 digit to get 1kW. Why do I suspect that if the real
number was 1440W / m^2 they wouldn't round down to 1kW? Anyway, real
numbers for outside Bend, Oregon result in around 180 W / m^2 for a 24 hour
average in the summer. Talk about inflated capacity numbers - he can expect
a average of 9.9W from a "55W" panel.
