OK, I found it in the config file on the Wiki.

-> 5 E/s

The power needed to process experiments into data depends on the experiment. Temperature requires 50 charge and gravity 600. If the power runs out then the process doesn't slow, it stops completely even if power is restored. So, you have to be sure to have enough battery capacity.

To permanently run research to convert the data into science requires more than 6 PB-NUKs and less than 7, so somewhere between 4.5 and 5.25 charge per sec. So, 4 smaller extendable panels will do it with good light exposure or one gigantor is over-kill.
