Solar power is becoming an increasingly popular and affordable way to power homes and businesses around the world. A 100 kw solar system is rather large, requiring up to 6,500 square feet of storage space. A 100 kw solar system produces 100,000 watts of DC direct current power. It can also generate approximately 12,000-kilowatt hours of AC power per month, also known as alternating current. This estimate is based on a 100kw solar system design that faces south and receives over 5 hours of direct sunlight per day.
There are two common types of 100kw solar systems – off-grid and on-grid. The key difference is that an off-grid system isn’t connected directly to an electrical system, like your home, business, or other building. Instead, the solar panels collect and store energy from the sun to be used later. This energy is stored in batteries and requires a 100 kw solar inverter to convert it into usable power. An on-grid solar system is connected to a building's power system, feeding energy directly into the power system.
When it comes to price, a 100kw off-grid solar system cost is much greater than an on-grid system that uses solar panels. That’s because an off-grid system requires several other components including solar storage batteries and an inverter with high-voltage capacity. An on-grid system only requires panels that are installed directly on the roof of most buildings.
A complete 100kw solar system price varies, however a commercial 100 kw solar plant cost can average around $300,000. A smaller system that provides 25 kw of power costs around $50,000. If you need an extremely large solar system of 250kw or greater, you can expect to pay over $600,000. When evaluating a 100kw off-grid solar system cost, consider not only the price of the panels, inverter, and batteries but also the installation. For many people, the 100kw solar system price is a small one to pay for clean, reusable energy that saves them money in the long run.
