With standard 400W solar panels in a city that receives a worldwide average of 6 hours of sunlight per day , each solar panel would produce roughly 2.4kWh of electricity a day under ideal sunny conditions. Under cloudy conditions, this same solar panel may only produce 25% of this electricity or 0.6kWh of renewable electricity.
