Then you can purchase them $300 for 124 watt @ 48 Volts. http://greenpowerscience.com/SOLARPANEL124.php

2. So how many of these to run

your water heater or say 50% of your heating/cooling?

I will use anywhere from 800-1600 Kwh in a month. The upper end is height of summer dog days/dead of winter chill. Most times its in the 1000 range.

3. Forgot to add

This is a small house, about 1250 sq ft. I rarely am using more than one major appliance at a time. For example, I'm rarely either washing dishes OR laundry, but not both.
