I was able to keep a laptop, radio, and a small lamp powered with a small panel. I believe it was 80 W, but I'd bought it used and it was a takeoff and may have degraded. However that was southern Arizona. Even then one rainy winter I had to choose what to power and used a kerosene lamp for lighting. There are some residential solar installations here but I don't know how practical they are overall. It's a narrow valley that often suffers from temperature inversions during the winter, plus the short days.
