Best Answer

The answer depends on many factors (climate, seasonal weather variations, home size, the # of occupants in the home, personal comfort preferences (temp, humidity, air freshness), the amount & intensity of sunlight & wind that hit the home, the amount of shade from trees or other objects that reduce sunlight exposure, the the quality of insulation used in the home construction, the air-tightness of the home, etc.)

More energy will be used in a modern home in the upper mid-west (e.g. Chicago, IL) than the exact designed home which is built in a milder climate (e.g. San Francisco, CA).

In Houston, TX (which is a hot & humid climate for at least 6 months of the year) my annual electric cost is approximately: 1,000 $/yr (i.e. an average of: ~9125 kWh/yr or ~760 kWh/month or ~25 kWh/day). Maximum/minimum monthly electrical usage is of course much higher/lower, depending on how hot/mild the conditions are outside.

How many solar panels does it take to power a home?

If the average home consumes 43 kilowatts per day that equals 43,000 watts per day, the average solar panel produces 85 watts per hour so if u multiply that by the average number of hours it will be working and it equals just over a kilowatt per day. So to power the average home you would need around 40-45: 85 watt panels.
