16kw solar energy system specification
The 16kw solar power system can generate between 50kWh and 90kWh of electricity per day, depending on the altitude, latitude, temperature and the angle of mounting of the panels. The system can be used to provide power for small commercial and industrial applications, as well as for schools, hospitals, and other municipal facilities.
There are three types of systems, on grid, off-grid and hybrid. You can choose the suitable system according to the actual needs or contact us to help you calculate and design the program.
16kw on grid system: without batteries, the electricity generated by the PV is used for the load and the excess electricity is fed back into the grid company.
16kw off grid system: with battery, both PV and utility can be used for loads, the battery is used as a back-up power source to provide electricity to the loads at night and on cloudy and rainy days.
16kw hybrid system: it combines the functions and advantages of both on grid and off grid, maximizing the use of the electricity generated by the PV, but at a slightly higher price.
16kw Solar Power System Cost
The price of a 16kw solar system is from $3800 to $8800, It depends on which option you choose, if it’s a grid-tied option without batteries the cost is much lower. If you need batteries as a back-up then off-grid and hybrid are great options with 15kWh, 20kWh, 30kWh or even larger capacity batteries.

|---|---|
| 16kw on grid solar system | Around 3800USD |
| 16kw off grid solar system | Around 7700USD |
| 16kw hybrid solar system | Around 8800USD |

How much electricity does a 16kw solar system generate per month?
16kw PV panels can generate about 150kWh~270kWh of electricity per month. The Middle East, Africa, Australia, and North America have higher PV power generation. Please contact us to help you check the PV power generation data in your city.
What are the factors that affect the daily power generation of a 16kw solar system?
The age of the solar panels, the tilt and orientation of the PV installation, the daily peak sunlight hours in the region, the conversion efficiency of the PV inverter, the cleanliness of the PV panels, etc. are some of the factors that affect the daily power generation of a 16kw solar kit.
16kw solar system size
Estimated based on the size of 30 units 550watt solar panels. If you are installing on a horizontal roof, you will need an installation area of approximately 110m². If you are installing on a pitched roof, you will need approximately 80m² of installation area. This will need to be calculated depending on the type and size of your roof.
16kw solar system inverter selection
A 16kw PV system is usually paired with a 3 phase 16kw inverter, there are also single phase and 3 phase 16kw inverter options. You can choose a grid-tied or off-grid inverter depending on whether you need batteries for the system. Grid connected inverters cannot be used with batteries, while off grid and hybrid inverters can.
16kw solar system battery selection
Generally, 16kw solar kit is equipped with high voltage batteries. Battery capacity ranges from 20kWh to 60kWh, and conventional 48V batteries are also available. The capacity of the battery is calculated according to the amount of electricity used by the load after 18:00.
How much money can I save with a 16kw solar system?
A 16kw solar system can save you at least $3700 per year. The exact figure will depend on the total amount of electricity generated by the panels per year and the local electricity price.
How long will the 16kw solar system last?
Under normal circumstances, PV panels can last for more than 30 years, inverters and batteries can last for more than 10 years, and PV mounts can last for more than 30 years. This means that you will need to repair or replace the batteries during the lifetime of the system. We also provide lifetime after-sales consulting service.
What can I run on a 16kW solar system?
The system can power loads up to 16kw. If it is a load with a motor then the total power that can be started at the same time must not exceed 8kw.
Maintenance Considerations
The PV system has an intelligent monitoring system so little maintenance is required. PV panels are generally clear once every six months or so. If the wind and dust are relatively large places need to be cleaned every two months or so. It should also be noted that if there is snow cover should also be cleaned in time.
