20kW vs 30kW vs 50kW vs 100kW solar systems
Choosing the correct commercial solar capacity should be based on electricity consumption rather than simply installing as much solar as will fit on the roof. Compare common business system sizes below.
| System size | Indicative application | Typical scale | More information |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20kW solar | Small business, office, workshop or high-consumption property | Entry commercial | View 20kW solar pricing |
| 30kW solar | Retail, medical, workshops, smaller warehouses and light industry | Small-to-medium commercial | View 30kW solar pricing |
| 50kW solar | Warehouses, factories, schools and medium commercial premises | Medium commercial | View 50kW solar pricing |
| 100kW solar | Large warehouses, manufacturing, retail, agricultural and industrial sites | Large commercial | View 100kW solar pricing |
Should your business install 50kW or 100kW solar?
A 50kW solar system may suit businesses with moderate daytime electricity demand, while a 100kW system can make more sense for sites with higher and more consistent loads.
Interval electricity data can show how much energy your business uses throughout the day and help determine whether additional solar capacity is likely to be consumed on-site.
What affects the 100kW solar system price?
Commercial solar projects should be priced from the actual site rather than from system capacity alone. These factors can materially change the final cost.
Solar panel quality
Panel efficiency, wattage, manufacturer, warranty, degradation profile and long-term product support affect system cost and value.
Commercial inverter design
Inverter capacity, phase configuration, monitoring, export control, redundancy and future battery compatibility can influence project cost.
Roof structure
Roof condition, material, building height, structural loading, orientation and available mounting areas affect design and engineering.
Electrical upgrades
Switchboards, protection equipment, metering, cable runs and other electrical infrastructure may require modification.
Site access
Scaffolding, cranes, elevated work platforms, roof-access systems, traffic management and shutdown requirements can increase project cost.
Network requirements
Export limitations, connection applications, protection settings and network requirements should be assessed during project design.
How many solar panels are needed for a 100kW system?
The number of panels required depends on module wattage. Modern higher-wattage commercial panels can reduce the total number of modules and the roof area required.
| Panel wattage | Approximate quantity | Approximate array size | Planning consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 440W | Approx. 227 panels | Approx. 99.9kW | Suitable where usable commercial roof area is readily available. |
| 450W | Approx. 222 panels | Approx. 99.9kW | A practical commercial configuration using modern modules. |
| 460W | Approx. 217–218 panels | Approx. 100kW | Reduces panel quantity compared with lower-wattage modules. |
| 500W | Approx. 200 panels | 100kW | Higher-wattage panels can reduce the number of modules required. |
Final panel quantity and DC array size depend on product specifications, inverter design and engineering requirements.
How much roof space does a 100kW solar system need?
A 100kW commercial solar system may require roughly 500 to 700 square metres of suitable installation area as a broad planning allowance.
Actual requirements depend on panel dimensions, roof layout, equipment spacing and site-specific safety considerations.
- Solar panel dimensions and wattage
- Roof orientation and pitch
- Required roof setbacks
- Maintenance access pathways
- Roof-mounted HVAC and equipment
- Skylights and obstructions
- Shading conditions
- Structural loading capacity
A large roof does not automatically mean 100kW is the right size
A system should be matched to the business’s electricity consumption and network requirements.
Installing excessive solar capacity where the business cannot consume the generation and export is restricted may reduce project economics.
How much electricity does a 100kW solar system produce?
A 100kW system can generate a substantial amount of renewable electricity, but actual output varies according to location, weather, roof orientation, tilt, shading, equipment efficiency and system losses.
| Location | Indicative daily output | Indicative monthly output | Indicative annual output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney | 360–440 kWh | 10,800–13,200 kWh | 130,000–160,000 kWh |
| Melbourne | 340–420 kWh | 10,200–12,600 kWh | 124,000–154,000 kWh |
| Brisbane | 400–480 kWh | 12,000–14,400 kWh | 146,000–175,000 kWh |
| Adelaide | 380–460 kWh | 11,400–13,800 kWh | 138,000–168,000 kWh |
| Canberra | 350–440 kWh | 10,500–13,200 kWh | 128,000–160,000 kWh |
These are broad planning estimates rather than guaranteed production. A project-specific solar simulation is required for a meaningful forecast.
How much could a business save with a 100kW solar system?
The value of a 100kW solar system depends heavily on the proportion of solar electricity the business can consume directly on-site.
Commercial electricity tariffs can include usage charges, time-of-use rates and demand charges, so a meaningful savings estimate should use actual electricity data rather than a generic percentage.
- Annual electricity consumption
- Daytime electricity demand
- Electricity tariff
- Peak-demand charges
- Solar self-consumption
- Solar export arrangements
- Operating days and hours
- Future electricity demand
Use as much commercial solar on-site as practical
Solar electricity used directly by the business can offset electricity that would otherwise be purchased from the grid.
Where exported electricity receives less value than avoided grid electricity, increasing self-consumption may improve the commercial value of the system.
What businesses can use a 100kW solar system?
100kW solar systems are commonly assessed for businesses and organisations with substantial daytime electricity loads and suitable installation space.
Manufacturing facilities
Production machinery, process loads, refrigeration, compressors and HVAC can create substantial daytime electricity consumption.
Warehouses
Large rooftops and operational electricity loads can make warehouses strong candidates for commercial solar assessment.
Distribution centres
Lighting, automation, offices, refrigeration and future fleet charging can contribute to significant electricity use.
Retail centres
Retail businesses commonly operate during the same hours that solar generation is available.
Schools
Education facilities often have useful roof areas and substantial weekday daytime energy demand.
Aged care facilities
Long operating hours and HVAC, kitchen, laundry and facility loads can create meaningful solar opportunities.

Yes. A commercial battery can be integrated with a suitable 100kW solar installation where the site’s consumption profile and project objectives support a clear battery use case.
Store surplus solar
Excess daytime solar can potentially be stored for use later when business demand continues after solar production falls.
Demand management
A correctly modelled battery may support selected peak-demand management strategies where demand charges are significant.
Business resilience
Selected critical circuits may be supported during outages where the battery, inverter and electrical design are engineered for backup operation.
What battery size works with a 100kW solar system?
There is no universal battery capacity that should automatically be paired with 100kW solar.
Commercial battery sizing should be based on the actual electricity profile and intended battery use.
- Solar exports during the day
- Evening electricity consumption
- Peak-demand periods
- Electricity tariffs
- Required backup loads
- Operating hours
- Future EV charging
- Planned business expansion
Do not choose commercial battery size from solar capacity alone
For example, a business with a 100kW solar array but little surplus solar may require a very different battery configuration from another business with the same solar capacity but substantial daytime export.
