Will this "plant" be for a house, village, or to sell back to grid ?

First, you need to inventory all your loads:
laptop 60W 12 hours
lamp CFL 20W 6 hours
lamp CFL 20W 6 hours
coffee maker 1400W 0.1hr
internet modem 30W 24 hours
Fridge 350W 6 hours

Once you have a listing of your loads, you total the daily watt hours for each load:
lamp CFL 20W 6 hours = 120wh
tea pot 1400W 0.1hr = 140wh

then you add all the watt hours up for the daily total = 1,220 wh [ or 1.22KWh ]

Then you need the number of good sun hours in your area pvwatts.org lets use 5 as a average number. Double your consumption : 2440 and divide by sun hours 5 = 488W
488w is the amount of solar PV needed to run your loads for the caculated time.

Then we can figure batteries later.
