PV solar panels are sold by the 100w, 1000w etc. I know the energy I use per month in Kwh. What does the 100 watt solar panel rating mean? How do I calculate how much energy in Kwh I can get from a 100 watt panel in one month? This must require information about the average sunlight in my region in that month. Where can I find that information and how is it used to calculate the actual monthly production in Kwh per 100 watt rated panel?

What size solar electric system do I need?
Your first step is to determine your average daily usage in kilowatt hours. Most bills will have this displayed either as a daily average over the month or the total kilowatt hours used over the month. Looking at your average over the year will give you the best estimate.
Residential PV systemsArosa Solar can then estimate the size PV system you will need to produce a percentage of your building’s energy. A formula consisting of the sunlight hours / day times the number of kilowatts a system would produce will give you an idea of what percentage of your homes power could be replaced with solar energy.
The larger the system, the higher the energy output. A solar water heater can decrease your gas bill by a significant percentage – 70-80 & of most homeowners’ summer gas charges are for hot water usage. When you add the savings together, a large portion of your utility bills could be eliminated. Solar attic fans and tube lights are yet another way to maximize your solar resources.
Hope it is a help
