"The amount of energy output you can get out of one square meter of sunlight at high noon at the equator is 1,000 watts. That's barely enough to power a hair dryer"

I've got 7 Kyocera 200 W panels.

Length x Width x Depth
56.2in x 39in x 1.4in


Over the course of a year, they power my house, plus put 200-500 KWH of xs power into the grid.

Oh but don't you know.........the sun never sets on N. CA............its one of those freak twists in nature.
