or how many watts? i dont use much electricity. i have on a couple of lights and a computer, sometimes the tv. how many solar panels would i need to power those constantly throughout the day, and maybe charge batteries for night? the air, refrigerator and hot water heater i would still use regular electricity.

Solar panels produce DC electricity, not AC. So, they would have to charge a bank of batteries, then you’d need an inverter to convert DC to AC.
You need to find what your peak wattage is (consumption) and how long you want to run things for and work backwards from there.
Suffice to say, a roof-full of panels probably won’t be enough.
Who provide solar system they can advise you according to your consume of electric watts
Are you confusing solar power with wind turbine power, solar is more widely used for hot water, wind turbine for power, but for solar heated water you need to have the correct direction of roof, or at least plenty of exposure to sun, the amount of panels would depend on water usage and amount of direct/indirect sunlight.
