Solar Power

Hello,

I just had a question about solar power. I understand some of it. But I am thinking about getting solar panels to power part of my home. I am thinking about getting stuff to power my main room. I was wondering how big of a solar system I would need for these devices.

Here is what is in the room.

Ceiling fan that is not always on. It also has 3 12v LED lights in it. That run about 3hrs a day.

40" LCD tv. it says 210w for this.

Cable box 120w

DVD player unknown w's

Laptop computer which I turn on and off everyday. It says 120v 2a

And a desktop computer that is off 6 out of 7 days.

That is everything I have pluged in atm.

As far as weather conditions I get good amount of sunlight in the summer but we also have snowy winters. Because of that I would use a grid tie system.
