    1000 watts equals a kilowatt.

    I know enough about sloar panels to be dangerous.

    I know they put out a low voltage, either 12 or 24 volts.

    You then need a storage system of batteries the panels will charge.

    Then an DC to AC inverter is need to change the battery voltage to a useful 120 volts AC.

    How much load you have or need powered in the home will determine what size solar panel system you will need.

    I suggest that you do a web search for solar panel systems for homes, find a reputable dealer that will help you design your system.
