Are you confusing solar power with wind turbine power, solar is more widely used for hot water, wind turbine for power, but for solar heated water you need to have the right management of roof, or at least bounty of exposure to sun, the amount of panels would depend on water usage and amount of direct/indirect sunlight.

Solar panels yield DC electricity, not AC. So, they would have to charge a bank of batteries, then you’d need an inverter to convert DC to AC.
You need to find what your peak wattage is (consumption) and how long you want to run things for and work backwards from there.
Be enough to say, a roof-full of panels probably won’t be enough.
