SCALE: To put this in perspective, the total land area of the Earth is approximately 148,940,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 148,940,000,000,000 square meters. Therefore, we would need to cover approximately 13.5 per cent of the Earth's land area with solar panels to generate enough electricity to power the entire planet.
