20kw of panels ???
So so much for a minimum to live like a normal person?
20Kw of panels it's 60 large panels (330w each). It's about 5kW of constant power in average per hour (including night with extra power of the day stored for night)
Why that much?
Todays light it's from LED and not incandescent bulb.
PC take 200w or 250W. A TV 80 or 100W. And you sleep 7 hours and don't stay entire day in home.
Hot shower can be from solar heater and not photovoltaics.
So I ask, why that much panels needed ?

To go off grid and live like a normal person you probably want at least 20kw of panels and 50 to 100 kwh of battery, a 120/240v15kw generator minimum, a 2 to 3kw dc generator.
