This converter allows you to convert gigawatts [GW] to microwatts [µW] or microwatts [µW] to gigawatts [GW]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 gigawatt [GW] = 1015 microwatts [µW]1 microwatt [µW] = 10-15 gigawatts [GW]

Convert gigawatts to microwatts

There are two simple ways to convert gigawatts [GW] to microwatts [µW]. In the first calculation method, the value in gigawatts [GW] is divided by 10-15. The second method multiplies the value in gigawatts [GW] by 1015.

  • Microwatts [µW] = gigawatts [GW] ÷ 10-15
  • Microwatts [µW] = gigawatts [GW] * 1015

Convert microwatts to gigawatts

Converting microwatts [µW] to gigawatts [GW] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, whereby the value in microwatts [µW] is multiplied by 10-15. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in microwatts [µW] is divided by 1015.

  • Gigawatts [GW] = microwatts [µW] * 10-15
  • Gigawatts [GW] = microwatts [µW] ÷ 1015
