The way you get solar, is you call a company that evaluates your bill. They average your needs over the course of the year. These are facts.Well, I can't imagine it. I consume 80 kWh per month: 2.6 kwh per day. The 2,500 USD solar panel kit is enough for me.
My laptop requires 40 watts and my lights 90 watts; I only turn them on from 6 pm to 10 pm.
Sure enough, the fridge is the energy hog of the house and is probably responsible for 60% of the electricity bill.
Sometimes I use a 40W fan in spring, but the bill doesn't vary much.
200 amp service is standard in new homes. You need a minimum of 22,000 watts
A 40 watt fan? I doubt that, I bet it is at least 50 watts.
And then there are electric stoves and electric water heaters, a pump for water. Unless you are on city water and natural gas.
So, you arguing your unreasonably low power estimate against the nationwide average, for what reason.
