I meet many homeowners who feel unsure about solar yield. I want to make it simple, practical, and real. A 6 kW system makes about 23 kWh/day at 4.5 peak-sun-hours (≈8,300 kWh/year). An 8 kW system makes about 31 kWh/day (≈11,100 kWh/year). In high-sun regions, output rises by roughly 20–30%. 6kW and 8kW solar system...| adnsolarstreetlight.com
