It supplies enough to cut the bill down by 30 to 60% depending on the month and the amount of cloud cover. Summer months are the best w/longer days.
To break it down further- our panels produced 996 kwh in June. This is what that means and keep in mind, the house is 5,600 sq ft:
(The average U.S. home uses about 886-1,000 kWh/month, depending on location.)
---
Relatable Everyday Examples:
Here's what 996 kWh can power:
33 full loads of laundry in an electric washer and dryer
2,000 hours of TV time on a modern LED flat screen
27,600 hours of LED lightbulb use (using a 36-watt bulb)
3,800 miles of driving in a Tesla Model 3 (using ~260 Wh/mile)
83 full charges of a Tesla Model Y Long Range
Real-World Household Context: "That's about what a 2,000 sq ft home would use running the AC, fridge, lights, TV, and some laundry for the whole month all covered by solar."
