watt-peak
Explanation:
Wp - Watt-peak - maximum power output of a 1 square meter solar panel at 25 degrees centigrade. This unit of output is devised to compare the performances of various types and makes of solar panels. A 100 Wp panel is supposed to produce 100W. In real life a solar panel performes less. Use as a rule of thumb 80% of the Wp value.

Are you sure the MW isn't megawatts?
see e.g. And with the expansion of Deutsche Solar AG's silicon wafer capacity to 120 MW by year's end, the new production line of Deutsche Cell GmbH in Freiberg (for the time being 30 MW), plus Solar Factory's plans, Saxony is becoming an integral solar location within Germany.
