what will it cost to install a solar power system to generate 40kW?
Posted on 2009 under solar power for homes | 4 Comments1 Jun
A quick internet search found palletized solar panels running at the cheapest price of $2.79 per watt. So that works out to $111,600 without installation.

Depends on the technology you use.
Curved reflectors raising steam for a turbine could well be much cheaper that photo-voltaic cells.

40 kW is enough for 20-30 homes, not counting time when the sun is not shining.
cost is about US$4 per W, so you are looking at $160,000 for the panels alone. Then factor in the batteries, charger, inverter, and installation, and you are over $200,000. Way over.

Why would you need this much power? Most homes could run easily on 10kw. If this is a business then that is different and will cost a small fortune.
