    Is it true that you can get 4kwh per day per square meter? My average electricity consumption is ~15kwh/day, so if I can potentially offset most of my grid usage with just 4 square meters of solar panel, that seems very attractive. I live in a tropical country btw.

      No, 4kwh is about the daily amount of sun hitting 1 square meter. Solar panels can capture about 20% of that
