Question:

How much power does a solar panel generate?

Given that I am going to purchase a solar panel to charge my cell phones and other gadgets, I would like to know what the ammount of power produced by a 6 Watt solar panel is under regular circumstances. (IE partial sun, full sun, cloudy)

Answer:

That site tells you somewhat about the cost of solar panels and their MAXIMUM output. Now some who have these panels claim output, in daily terms, 8 times as great as maximum output, which says they are counting on 8 hours of effective sunlight. In California Desert that is sound. You will discover that Ontario Power grid is planning for 3 hours to 4 hours of maximum output . Based on that 3 to 4 hours of maximum output, it would take close to 20 years to recover your cost at the price Ontario pays for solar power. The deal locks you in so that you can not get more money as electricity prices go up, and do not lose if electricity prices go down over that 20 years.
