Solar Panels
168-175 × 585W panels or an equivalent array using another panel wattage. Quote should state brand, exact model, wattage, technology, serial traceability and product/performance warranty.
Industrial / institutional package designed as a practical planning reference. Review the system specification, expected production, included components, battery options and cost considerations before requesting installer quotations.
A single, easy-to-scan specification covering the important details without repeating the same information in separate blocks.
Industrial / institutional. This size is generally selected where the goal is to offset a meaningful share of daytime electricity use while keeping room for future load growth.
Industrial, institutional or large commercial project. Actual simultaneous appliance use depends on inverter output, startup current, battery discharge limits and how much solar power is available at that moment.
System size alone does not determine backup time. Battery capacity controls stored energy, while inverter capacity controls how much load can run at once.
Use this checklist when comparing quotations. A complete quote should identify exact brands, models, quantities and warranties rather than only showing one total price.
168-175 × 585W panels or an equivalent array using another panel wattage. Quote should state brand, exact model, wattage, technology, serial traceability and product/performance warranty.
100kW total inverter capacity with the correct AC phase, MPPT voltage/current limits, PV oversizing allowance, monitoring features and warranty. Hybrid systems should also list supported battery communication protocols.
Roof- or ground-specific structure with suitable material thickness, secure fixing, correct tilt, drainage clearance, corrosion protection and wind-load consideration.
Correctly rated DC isolators, breakers/fuses, surge protection, AC breakers, distribution boxes, earthing and labels. Protection should be sized for the actual system, not treated as a generic accessory kit.
UV-resistant DC solar cable, suitable AC cable, genuine compatible connectors, conduit/trunking and proper cable sizing based on current, distance and voltage-drop limits.
Optional, separately sized and quoted for essential loads. If storage is included, the quote should specify chemistry, nominal and usable kWh, continuous current, BMS protocol, cycle warranty and inverter compatibility.
Mechanical installation, cable routing, terminations, testing, inverter configuration, monitoring app setup, commissioning checks, safety labels and handover documentation.
Written equipment warranties, installer workmanship warranty, support contact details and a clear process for inverter, panel or battery warranty claims.
The same 100kW solar array can be configured differently depending on whether your priority is bill reduction, backup power or maximum independence.
Best where grid supply is reasonably reliable and the main goal is reducing daytime electricity purchases. Usually the lowest-cost configuration because battery storage is not required.
Combines solar, grid and compatible battery storage. Suitable when you want bill savings plus backup capability and the option to add or expand batteries.
Uses a larger battery bank and careful load management. Appropriate where outages are frequent or the grid is weak, but battery cost and sizing become a major part of the project.
These bars are a relative planning illustration, not fixed percentages. The real split changes substantially with panel tier, inverter type, structure complexity and battery storage.
Approx. 400 units/day (illustrative) is a planning estimate. Actual production varies from day to day and from one roof to another.
Roof direction and panel tilt influence the amount and timing of solar energy collected.
Cloud cover, seasonal irradiance and high module temperatures change daily generation.
Trees, nearby buildings, parapets and other obstructions can reduce production, particularly when they affect a whole string.
Heavy soiling reduces light reaching the modules. Safe cleaning and periodic inspection help maintain output.
A 100kW installation should be treated as an engineered commercial or industrial project rather than a larger household package. Manufacturing sites, institutions and large commercial premises need a design that matches their operating schedule, electrical distribution and available installation area. Review interval demand, shutdown periods and planned equipment additions before committing to the array size.
Request an itemized quotation for a defined design instead of accepting a single unexplained installed rate. The scope should state whether it includes roof reinforcement, long cable routes, distribution-board changes, monitoring, metering or connection work and commissioning. Storage and generator integration should be separately engineered and priced; neither is automatically included in a 100kW solar quote.
Using 585W modules, 168 panels provide 98.28kWp and 175 provide 102.375kWp. A 171-panel example gives 100.035kWp. Using 600W modules, 167 panels provide 100.20kWp. State the resulting DC size on the quotation alongside total inverter AC output. A nominal 100kW package name alone does not identify either the final module count or the permitted inverter oversizing.
A project may use one 100kW inverter or multiple units, such as two 50kW inverters, subject to actual equipment suitability and site design. Separate shaded or differently oriented arrays across appropriate MPPT inputs. Evaluate cable distances, access, ventilation, distribution-board capacity and monitoring before choosing the layout. Multiple inverters can allow part of the array to operate while another unit is serviced, but they do not remove a shared grid-outage constraint.
Using five peak-sun-hours and an illustrative 80% overall energy factor, a nominal 100kWp array produces 400kWh/day: 100 × 5 × 0.8. Thirty comparable days give 12,000kWh. Actual yield changes with weather, orientation, temperature, shading, soiling and system availability. Compare a site-specific production estimate with working-day demand and holiday shutdowns; unused midday output is not automatically equivalent to purchased electricity savings.
A normal grid-tied system cannot supply the premises when the grid is absent. Backup requires a suitable isolated operating arrangement and equipment designed for it. Do not assume the existing generator and a grid-tied inverter can run together without a designed control scheme. Specify which circuits must remain live, their starting loads and the required duration before selecting a hybrid or storage architecture.
For example, keeping a steady 25kW essential load running for two hours requires 50kWh delivered energy. Nominal storage must account for discharge limits and losses, while its continuous power rating must support that load. This example does not cover restarting production machinery or supplying the whole facility.
For a smaller daytime load, compare a 50kW commercial system instead of assuming 100kW is the better purchase. For the equipment portion of a tender, use our inverter price catalog as a component comparison and obtain a separate complete-project quote.
Get a 100kW Project QuoteThe planning recommendation is: Optional, separately sized and quoted for essential loads. Battery storage should be quoted separately unless the package explicitly states that it is included, because backup duration and battery brand can change the total price significantly.
The reference estimate is Approx. 400 units/day (illustrative), or roughly 12,000–12,000 units in a 30-day month under comparable conditions. Real output depends on location, weather, orientation, shading, temperature and system losses.
Yes. The listed panel quantity is based on approximately 585W modules. A designer can use a different wattage as long as the resulting array voltage, current and total DC power remain within the selected inverter's permitted limits.
No. Site-specific quotation required is an indicative installed planning range. Final pricing should come from a site-specific, itemized quotation showing exact panel, inverter, battery, structure, protection and installation specifications.
