well using the standard formula VoltsxAmps = Watts
12V x ?Amps= 226Watts
?Amps = 226Watts/ 12V
=18.8333Amps

edit:
Now looking at the link Vmax = 15.2 Volts
same formula at 15.2Volts = 14.875 Watts

so if the Amps is constant and you lower the voltage...to 12 volts
you would be usig 178.5 Watts.. i think
If i'm wrong.. someone will correct me for shure...
