Solar Panel Physics Problem!?

Please help me answer this question:

A person living at a latitude of 40 degrees north desires to use solar panels to power the home, which uses 1.5 kw on the average. Assume that at the Earth, the Sun delivers 1 kw/m^2 perpendicular to the equator. If the solar panels are 15% efficient in converting solar power to electric power, what area of panels is needed?

Thanks!
