Your estimation on the generated kwh is a bit high like others have mentioned - most sites are seeing a difference of 200-300 kwh drop in consumption when compared to usage prior to panel install.

Right now - and I'm not sure of the kind of panel being installed here in Calgary compared to the kinds available elsewhere and the generation difference between them - but it seems having them installed is more of a conservation choice as opposed to a financial one.
