If you need an average output of 2285W then that requires 9kW of panels.  In low latitudes the average full daily sunlight you can count on is around 6 hours.  Here in Melbourne it is 4 hours.  


9kW over 6 hours will give 54kWh.  A little better than the 50kWh required over a day at 8kts.  Some days will be a bit better some days a bit lower.  Depending on how good you are at chasing sunlight then the speed may be above 8kts.  There is also the possibility of a small wind turbine for less sunny locations.

or if you are using some version of watt/hrs perhaps u best say so
its confusing because 16% is an average efficiency for a panel, yet they still output 200-250 watts while there is good sun
