Let's say that you currently use about
. . . 1100 kWh per month, divide your average monthly usage by
. . . 30 to get your average daily kWh usage. In this case, it would be about
. . . 37 kWh per day, you would need about
. . . 37 solar panels to meet
. . . 100% of your average energy usage.

I have replaced all lights, with LED's,  
. . . use power Strips, for everything with a plug, and
. . . replaced air conditioners, with a couple of ceiling fans,
. . . in my home, which helps me cut down on my electric demand.

So, I currently use about
. . . 300 kWh per month, divide my average monthly usage by
. . . 30 to get my average daily kWh usage. In this case, it would be about
. . . 10 kWh per day, I would need about
. . . 10 solar panels to meet
. . . 100% of my average energy usage.
