My 100 watt panels put out within 5% of that most of the year — say 8-9 months — when it is sunny and I’m at 46°N. At peak they can go over rating by 10% or so.
But that’s not averaged over 365 24 hr days, counting cloudy days. I have a 1 kW bank of panels that’s just fine for running some critical electronics (internet hardware, a laptop and ham radio full time with just enough reserve for another couple of part-time usage radios.
