"produces 14.7 watts from a single solar panel, but that's only with a full day of sun"
Watts are an "energy per second" unit, so that makes no sense. It's a bit like saying a car can do 60 miles every hour but only if you drive it for a week. You're either confusing what Watts are or you mean Watt-hours, which are a unit of energy as opposed to power.

I suspect he means "in full sunlight" and the 14.7 W figure is correct. 14 Wh is very low for a full day in sunlight.
