If it's 44 quadrillion Watts per year, how many is it per second?

I see my comment flew over your head, although I appreciate all the info you shared. It's just that the sun doesn't deliver Watts per year or per second. The Watt is a unit of power and as such is already energy per time. Watts/year is a nonsense unit, at least in this context.

Actually I miss read my source. I was assuming the figure I was quoted was a watt-year.
