Question 3

Write a Python program that calculates the estimated daily energy output of a solar array.

Your program should:

  • keep asking the user to enter the solar panel generation capacity in kilowatts (kW) until they enter a value that is between 2.5 and 12.5 (inclusive)
  • calculate the baseline daily energy output in kWh by multiplying the capacity by 5.2
  • ask the user if solar tracking is enabled (expect the user to enter yes if it was)
  • if solar tracking is enabled, multiply the calculated baseline daily energy output by 1.35
  • output the final estimated daily energy output.

You should use meaningful variable name(s), correct syntax and indentation in your answer.
