I guess found is not the right word. Inferred is more like it.
If it is found, the amount of sunlight it receives is about 7 milliwatts per square meter...
So a solar collecting panel 1000 meters squared would collect 7000 watts times the efficiency, say being generous, 30%, leaves you with 2100 watts. Enough to heat your bathwater I guess.
Total though, if it is 2X the size of Earth, it would receive about 3 terawatts on the planet as a whole.
