The real equation is kWp = Area in m^2 * assumed intensity of 1 kW m^-2 * efficiency. You could also calculate it if you know the maximum current out and voltage from P=IV. If you can't find any info for your panels, you can try looking at panels on the internet and seeing what they give you in kWp/m^2.<br><b>References : </b><br> The supplier should tell you.

For 10 square meters, maybe 3kW (12volts x 250amps) at the most.<br><b>References : </b><br>AS.
