100kW Industrial Solar Power System for Factory Warehouse in Uruguay

① Location

In Uruguay

② Customer Type

For a factory warehouse

③ Problem

The factory warehouse has a stable grid connection but faces high industrial electricity costs, placing pressure on operating expenses.

As electricity consumption grew, the customer wanted a long-term solution to:

• Self-consumption to save on electricity bills

• Generating clean energy by installing solar panels on the factory roof

• Selling surplus electricity back to the local grid

The client is looking for a reliable 100kW industrial solar power system that can deliver immediate energy cost savings while generating additional revenue.

④ Solution

Tanfon designed and installed a 100kW grid-tied industrial solar power system specifically for the factory warehouse.

Unlike off-grid setups, this grid-tied solution allows the warehouse to prioritize the use of solar power during the day—aligning perfectly with peak electricity consumption hours—while seamlessly drawing additional power from the grid when needed. Furthermore, any surplus electricity generated by the system can be fed back into the local grid, creating an additional revenue stream.

The grid-tied system features a relatively simple architecture and eliminates the need for expensive energy storage batteries; consequently, the initial investment is lower, and the payback period is shorter compared to systems equipped with storage capabilities.

⑤ Technical Specifications

Installed a 100kW industrial solar power system.

System Configuration

• 100kW on-grid solar system
• No battery storage required
• 160 × 600W high-efficiency solar panels
• On-grid inverter system
• Intelligent monitoring platform
• Factory rooftop installation
• Grid-connected power generation system

The system is designed for maximum daytime electricity production while maintaining stable factory operations through seamless grid integration.

⑥ Results

After commissioning, the factory immediately began generating clean electricity and reducing its dependence on utility power.

Project Benefits

• Significantly reduced daily electricity costs
• Improved factory energy efficiency
• Generated clean renewable energy
• Enabled surplus electricity to be exported to the local power grid
• Increased long-term return on investment
• Reduced carbon emissions and supported sustainable manufacturing

This project demonstrates how a 100kW industrial solar power system can help manufacturing companies lower operating costs while maximizing the value of available rooftop space.

FAQ: 100kW Industrial Solar Power System

❓1. What is a 100kW industrial solar power system?

A 100kW industrial solar power system is designed for factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities with medium to high electricity consumption. It helps reduce electricity bills by generating clean solar energy during the day.

❓2. Is a 100kW solar system suitable for factories?

Yes. A 100kW system is an excellent choice for factories with daytime production, warehouses, workshops, and manufacturing facilities that want to reduce operating costs.

❓3. Can excess electricity be sold back to the utility grid?

Yes. In regions where net metering or feed-in policies are available, surplus electricity generated by an on-grid solar system can be exported to the utility grid, creating additional financial benefits.

❓4. Does an on-grid industrial solar system require batteries?

Not necessarily. If the utility grid is stable and the primary goal is reducing electricity costs, an on-grid system without battery storage is often the most cost-effective solution.

❓5. How many solar panels are used in a 100kW industrial solar power system?

The exact number depends on panel wattage. In this project, 160 high-efficiency 600W solar panels were installed.

❓6. What is the ROI of a 100kW industrial solar power system?

ROI depends on local electricity prices, solar radiation, and government incentives. Most industrial solar projects recover their investment within several years through substantial electricity bill savings.

❓7. Why choose Tanfon for industrial solar projects?

Tanfon has nearly 20 years of C&I solar experience, provides complete turnkey solutions, and has 8 demonstration projects available for viewing, giving customers confidence in both product quality and engineering capability.

❓8. Can Tanfon customize industrial solar solutions?

Yes. Tanfon provides customized 50kW–1MW+ industrial solar power systems based on each customer's electricity consumption, roof area, production schedule, and investment objectives.
