Staff Answer
The maximum kilowatt hours produced will vary widely, depending on location and conditions. In ideal conditions, the system will produce .92 kilowatt hours per hour of ideal sun. There will, on average, be a 13-15% loss when transferring and converting electricity. In most of the United States, the solar industry assumes an average of 5 hours of peak sunshine daily, but can vary.
