Each power satellite generates as much as 10 solar panels with that planet's solar_power_in_space multiplier, so 1.8MW sounds about right - 60kW * 10 * 300%.
Yeah, that was the initial value for base Factorio before Space Age released (and if you play without SA it's still 6MW). I've updated the Details section to add SA-relevant info, thanks for your post! :)
