1 m2 horizontal surface receives peak radiation of 1000 Watts. A 1 m2 solar panel with an efficiency of 18% produces 180 Watts. 190 m2 of solar panels would ideally produce 190 x 180 = 34,200 Watts = 34.2 KW. But inclined solar panels also need some spacing between them so practically you would be generating about half the power or 17.1 KW.
To the machinery and solar panel production equipment are then added a series of services provided by the equipment supplier, such as training activities prior to delivery of the line, the preparation of the layout with all the indication to the operating requirements, support for the purchase of raw materials, and more.
