Kilowatts per square meter to watts per square meter
Type a value in kW/m² to get it in W/m² instantly.
1,000,000W/m²
That's 735× as bright as sunlight above the atmosphere — nothing on our list beats it. A two-square-meter panel at 20% would make about 400,000 W.
What it means
How much sun is that?
Panels are rated at 1,000 W/m², called one sun. kWh/m² per day here is averaged over 24 hours, not over daylight only.
The math
How to convert kW/m² to W/m²
To convert kilowatts per square meter to watts per square meter, multiply by 1,000.
Example: 1,000 kW/m² × 1,000 = 1,000,000 W/m².
In the other direction, 1 W/m² = 0.001 kW/m².
