To determine how much solar energy you need to run your home, take the average number of kilowatt hours per day that you use and multiply it by 0.25. This will tell you the size of the solar array you will need.Source:

how big is the house

power and energy are related to each other by the equation:
P = E / T
Where:
P = power
E = energy
T = time
So the amount of power you are using is the amount of energy you use divided by the time it takes to use it in. In other words, power is how fast the energy is coming in. You can rearrange that equation for energy and get:
E = P * T
Energy is the amount of power your using multiplied by the amount of time you’re using it for. If you use 1 kilowatt of power for 1 hour, that’s 1 kilowatt hour (kwh) of energy. kwh is the unit of energy the electric company uses when they bill you.
