How to calculate solar energy produced by a space station?

I have designed the "blueprint" of an spaceport. I know that in Earth solar energy is 1.200W/m^2 approx., but my spaceport is in the space (no atmosphere).

Information
- My blueprint has 60 solar panel blocks. Each block has 100m^2 area, for 60 * 100m^2 = 6,000m^2 total area of solar panels.
- The spaceport is at 1 AU from the sun (149,597,870.7 km).
- The sun is the same as our sun.
- Spaceport always gets sunlight.
- Solar panels are high-tech level, 80% efficiency.

Question
How can I calculate energy output?

I would put a hard-science tag, but I don't think it is necessary. I only want a calculation formula.
