It depends on the latitude (angle of incidence), the season (hours of sunlight), the clearness of the sky (cloud cover etc.), and the efficiency of the solar powers. All is explained at the Link. Satellite data indicates insolation rates to be about 1366 W/m2 at the edge of Earth's atmosphere but that less than 1000W/m2 reaches the surface.

All the above taken into account the array in question would receive 14 MW or less during sunlight hours. The output would be considerably less die to the efficiency factor.

The amount of thermal heat created by 3 acres of solar panels is minimal, as solar panels primarily convert sunlight into electricity, not heat. Any excess heat produced is typically dissipated through natural convection and thermal management systems to prevent overheating and maintain optimal efficiency. The focus of solar panels is to generate clean energy rather than produce thermal heat.
