The land area of the state of New Mexico is 337,367 km2 . The population of the United States is 301 million and the average power consumed per capita there is 10.2 kW. Single crystal PV solar cells have an area intensity of about 80 m2 /kWnom. If the capacity factor for solar power in New Mexico is 0.25, is the area of the state large enough to provide solar power that would meet one third of the current needs of the United States?
