How many solar panels in a 1 GW solar park? – Today’s Clidemy poll

Solar photovoltaic based power – that is, through the solar panels – is fantastic.
Zero carbon, or very low carbon. Available for eternity – or at least as long as our sun hangs around, which will be at least for a few more billion years. Works wherever and whenever their sunlight. Costs have dropped like a pack of dominoes.
And equally interestingly, it is modular – implying that you can have as small a solar “power plant” with a 1 W cell (good ole calculators have solar panels less than 1 W!), or as large as 1 GW = 1000 MW = 1000,000 KW = 1 billion or 1000,0000,000 W (the world’s largest solar farm is over 2 GW in size).

Such modularity also means that we will be having many, many solar panels on large solar farms, as against just a handful of boilers on equally large thermal power plants. (One large boiler-turbine system alone could be over 1000 MW at very large thermal power plants!)
So, there will be lots of solar panels on a large solar farm. But how many?
