60 kW Solar System
If you’re looking for a high-capacity solar energy solution for your business, farm, or large property, a 60 kW solar system could be the perfect fit. With the ability to generate around 240 to 300 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day, this system is ideal for properties with substantial and consistent energy needs. Let’s explore what a 60 kW system offers and how it can help you reach your energy goals.
Is a 60 kW Solar System Right For Me?
A 60 kW solar system is ideal if:
- Your property uses around 7,000 to 9,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity each month.
- You want to significantly reduce or eliminate large energy bills for a business, farm, or multi-unit property.
- You have sufficient roof or ground space for 130 to 150 high-efficiency solar panels.
- You’re ready to invest in long-term energy savings, energy independence, and a smaller carbon footprint.
This system size is best suited for commercial facilities, large agricultural operations, or estate homes with consistent, high energy demands. With a properly designed grid-tied or hybrid system, you can also take advantage of net metering, sending excess energy back to the utility grid to earn credits and lower your future electric bills.
60 kW Solar System Options
At Belmont Solar, we customize every solar installation to your property and goals. These are the three main types of systems available for a 60 kW installation:
Grid-tie Solar Systems
Stay connected to the utility grid while producing a significant portion of your energy needs. Net metering helps maximize your return on investment.
Hybrid Solar Systems
Combine the benefits of grid-tied systems with battery backup to keep your power running even when the grid goes down.
Off Grid Solar Systems
Great for remote properties or those who want complete energy independence. These systems include enough battery storage to meet your daily and nighttime power needs.
We’ll help you choose the best option based on your energy usage, site layout, and long-term goals.
Solar System Components
Here’s what makes up a 60 kW solar system:
Solar Panels
To reach a 60 kW capacity, you’ll typically need 130 to 150 solar panels rated at 400 to 450 watts each. We install American-made solar panels backed by a 25-year product and backed by our triple 10 warranty!
Meters
Grid-tied and hybrid systems require smart meters to track usage and export. You’ll also need a production meter to sell SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits), adding another revenue stream to your solar investment.
Batteries
For off-grid and hybrid systems, batteries store surplus energy for nighttime use or power outages. We install industry-leading battery solutions that are scalable and reliable, even for large systems.
Racking System
Your solar panels need strong, secure racking, on the roof or on the ground. We use Tough Trac, our proprietary in-house racking system, which features built-in wire management and class-leading structural strength.
