How much power does solar panels actually generate?

Lets say the solar panel is rated at 500w, how much power should I expect it to generate on a sunny day vs cloudy day vs rainy day?

As a separate question, is it possible to run a residential fridge 24/7 on a solar panel + batteries? If so, what kind of setup would I need? This will be done on a full-timing 5th wheel unit pulled by a dually, so weight should't be a problem.
