Newly Installed White House Solar Panels Will Generate Power For a Whopping Six Light Bulbs

Newly Installed White House Solar Panels Will Generate Power For a Whopping Six Light Bulbs UPDATE: Math Correction:
Here’s the pivotal sentence of the announcement:

And while the energy produced by the White House panels may not be all too significant—they’ll generate an estimated 6.3 kilowatts worth of energy—the message it sends is.

Oh good another “symbolic” achievement by Obama – he’s getting great at those! 
Not so much at actual achievements, unfortunately:
If 6.3 kilowatts sounds like a lot of energy, it isn’t. 
The average home consumes 27 kilowatts of power each day. 
Far more than the 6.3 kilowatts that will be produced by the new solar panels adorning the White House. According to TradeWind Energy, “one 50-watt light bulb running for 20 hours will use one kilowatt-hour of electricity (50 watts x 20 hours = 1,000 watt-hours = 1 kWh).”
