Original Note:
These numbers are incorrect. Nowhere on Earth receives ~2.5 GW/mi² (~1 GW/km²) of solar irradiance (annually averaged). The highest found on Earth is ~0.31 GW/km² (GHI). No solar power station anywhere on Earth produces ~3 GWh/mi²/day (~1.16 GWh/km²/day). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_photovoltaic_power_stations https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-per-energy-source
