How many solar panels do you need in BC?

A home in BC uses 30kWh/day on average throughout the year. Annual Energy Use = 30 x 365 = 10,950kWh/yr. If this were an average house, it would require approximately 10,950kWh / 400W / 1.0MWh/kW = 27 solar panels. If this were an acreage with a ground mounted solar array, it would require approximately 10,950 / 400 / 1.2 = 23 solar panels.
