The average American house uses less than 12,000 kilowatt hours a year and a 1 kW (kilowatt) solar panel system produces about 2,000 kWh a year. So you would need a 6 kW solar panel system to produce enough energy to fuel your house. Right now solar panel systems of that size would cost around $45,000 to buy and install. This means it would take about 37 years to pay off the cost of buying the system (income tax reductions included). The bad thing is the life span of solar panels today are 25-30 years so you most likely won't get your money back.
