#1 is not extraordinary, it just means that this box was made for the French market. As Darth Vader is called Dark Vador.

Maybe it was the person's thumb that the photo was about? Looks like they are missing the top 1/3.

Fritz,
Square kilometers of area, divided by size of standard solar panel, times output of each panel. But you are right, it looks a bit small; especially when adding in expected population growth and increased industrial and commercial demands as current energy generators are taken out of service.

its only a growing niche and fad. until the next power mogul decides to change the rules. look at coal vs nuclear, ac vs dc, kerosene vs oil.

Fritz,
LOL its just an image someone made, there's no science or truth behind it. That big square might run the UK, assuming clear skies, for the few years the panels worked.

Gina, the image is actually from a video, the big square would power the entire planet and that square is about the size of New Mexico
here is the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ASvupr8Zg
the down side of this
it would cost about 54 trillion dollars
increase the temperature in the area enough to evaporate the Mediterranean sea causing it to rain in the desert turning it into a jungle, sounds good right? ,wind blowing the sands of the Sahara travel world wide and bring nutrients helping the soil from south america to china and every place in between.
you'd actually be changing the environment of the entire planet
then who will everyone blame it on? the oil companies? big business? white people? capitalism?
and the same people who pushed this on everyone would suddenly be saying "put us in charge, we'll fix it"
same old same old

Fritz, its not a financially viable concept due to construction and maintenance costs required to transmit the electricity from one continent to any other.

Chesley,
the UK is actually working a such a project they plant to install a ton of solar panels and wind in Morocco and then put down 3 massive undersea cables each is around 3800 kilometers long. for 10.5GW of electricity about 8% of the UK consumption and its gonna cost around 22Billion$ in comparison a nuclear plant costs around 6-9 billion for 1.1GW of electricity

Chesley, if you put solar panels in the Sahara desert (roughly the size of the state of New Mexico for the big square) the heat generated would cause a host of environmental problems not to mention that the cost of building it would be about 54 trillion dollars, sand blowing off the Sahara travel world with and bring with them nutrients that effect the soil from south america to china, you want an environmental disaster on a global scale? set up a solar array in the Sahara desert
sure it sounds like a great idea and will fulfill every one of your eco friendly feelings but the reality is planet wide change of the environment

How tf should solar panels, that extract energy from that area, increase the temperature and evaporate the Mediterranean sea?
Physics is not for everyone I guess.
