Buying a house with owned solar - how do I evaluate the kWh and other things to know?

Buying a house with owned solar - how do I evaluate the kWh and other things to know?

I'm currently in the process of buying a home in Northern California with owned solar panels installed in October of 2016. Unfortunately the owner of the home passed away and their relatives don't know anything about the panels or the system at all.

The home inspector said that they installed a new electrical panel, and there are 26 total panels on the roof, not that I can tell what measurements or size or anything they are.

Here's a picture the inspector took to show that they were dusty. They'd also been installed "flat" instead of angled.

Is there any way to calculate how much power these would produce? Is there something I can look at on the box?
