Best Answer

To produce 5500 watts of instantaneous solar power you need roughly 120 sqyare metres of photvoltaic cells (11 metres x 11 metres). The 5500 watts is not used all the time though so it depends entirely on how much hot water you use. If you have it on all the time, you would need such an area. If you only have it running an hour a day you would need only a tenth of that but some way to store the energy you collect when the water isn't being heated up. It is much easier and cheaper to simply heat water directly from the sun using a solar water heater than to produce electricity to do it.
