You can use this site to estimate your solar production. I find it to be pretty accurate, as long as you fill in the parameters accurately:wow such differences!. Based on our roof angle, facing due south and our zip code, looks like my peak sun hours are over 5 , but we'll round down to 5. I'm assuming that means in theory my system should produce around that (system size * peak) per day, considering it will produce some in non-peak hours of daylight? Assuming that, I can see where seth said a 15kw system would probably cover our 3x the national average usage. In theory, a 10kw system with 5 hours of peak sun would generate around 50kwh/day if I'm understanding all this Thank y'all for the guidance. Need to watch that will video next
