You're not quite saying that right. Solar panels are rated by kilowatts (kWs), not kilowatt hours (kWhs). The sun provides about 1360 watts/square meter on the Earth with the sun directly overhead. In an instant in time, 1.6 square meter of solar array (typical panel size) at 20% efficiency may be generating 1.6 x 1360 x .2 = 436.2W. In an hour of steady 436.2W production 0.4362kWh of electricity is generated. Power is also reduced by atmosphere and cloud filtering and panel angle to the sun rays over the day bringing power production to the 0 to 350W/panel range, or 0 to 0.35kWh/panel range.
