The answer depends on the precise location, the time of day, the time of year, what year and the multitude of factors that affect the angle of incidence of the radiation. It also depends on the available technology, which changes from year to year. Finally, if it's profit you're interested in, it depends on the cost of your technology compared to the cost of an equal amount of energy from other sources.
There are thousands of scientists, economists, and ordinary business people working on these issues as you read this. Do you have an approach that they haven't thought of?
