12.2 trillion watt-hours converts to 12,211 gigawatt-hours, and based on 8,760 hours per year, and 197 million square miles of earthâs surface (including the oceans), the earth receives about 274 million gigawatt-years of solar energy, which translates to an astonishing 8.2 million âquadsâ of Btu energy per year.
If the amount of solar energy absorbed by the world is calculated it adds up to 3 850 000 EJ per year. This is 40 000 times the total energy consumption of the United States and 8000 times the total consumption of the world!
