Sorry for such a simple question....I have looked all over the internet trying to figure out how much energy each panel can generate.
I have determined that there are different types of panels and they all have different generation capabilities, but I can not even figure out an average, or ball park number to play around with.

My large house/family uses an average of about 1,00kw per month from So Cal Edison. How many panels would I need to offset that much energy?

It all really depends on your installation and how much sun your panels will get, but just to give you an idea, I have Suniva 275W panels and Enphase M250 microinverters, and approximately 27 panels will generate 1,000kWh/month.

A 10 kW system should supply most of your needs if the panels are able to be properly orientated.

It's a good question of general interest. The best tool out there is PVWatts Calculator . You also need to know the losses associated with your proposed setup.
