    Those panels produce about 100 w per square meter.

    a one square meter panel, producing for 8 hours a day, will produce 800 watt hours per day.

    In a month that adds up to 24 kwh, or about $2.90.

    There are a number of factors that you will need to take into account:

    a) Panel efficiency – efficiency can range from 5% to 20%, better effcient = more cost
    b) location of panels – need to be south facing
    c) location in the UK – check how much irradtation your home receives
