Factory rooftop solar in Galați: 124,800 kWh a year on 100 kWp
A 100 kWp array on a factory roof in Galați generates about 124,800 kWh a year at the local specific yield of 1,248 kWh/kWp. Factories are a better solar match than most commercial buildings because process loads, compressed air and HVAC run through the same daylight hours the array is producing.
With roughly 70% self-consumed against €0.18/kWh, that output is worth about €15,725 a year and pays back in around 5.7 years on an installed cost near €90,000. Strong local irradiance plus daytime process load is why factory rooftops in Galați are usually faster to close than speculative warehouse pitches.
Industrial estates around Galați sit in the same Galați County band as Tecuci and Berești. What changes site to site is roof area, shading from plant rooms, and whether the factory runs a true day shift. SolarScout flags those roofs from satellite and OpenStreetMap rather than from a bought list.

A quiet distribution shed may export a large share of midday generation. A factory in Galați typically does not: motors, ovens, plating lines or refrigeration pull power while the sun is up, so a higher share of the 124,800 kWh stays behind the meter and the 5.7-year payback holds.
That is the conversation to open with — not "solar is green", but "this roof in Galați offsets about €15,725 a year at today's tariff of €0.18/kWh".
What to inspect on a Galați factory roof
Look for large, low-pitch structural roofs with few roof lights, limited HVAC clutter, and a south or east-west run that matches Galați County's 1,248 kWh/kWp resource. North-light sheds and heavily plant-loaded roofs still work, but usable kWp drops and payback stretches past the 5.7-year city example.
SolarScout estimates footprint first, then (where Google Solar data exists) modelled annual kWh, so you can skip the roofs that will never carry a 100 kWp array and spend time on the ones that will.
How to turn Galați factory roofs into a lead list
Scan Galați in SolarScout and filter for factories. Each row carries an estimated roof area, a worked saving at €0.18/kWh, and contact fields where map data provides them. Export CSV or Excel and drop the list into your CRM.
When Galați is thin, run the same scan on Tecuci and Berești — they share the Galați County yield, so the economics stay comparable and you are not mixing a sunny coast with a cloudy hinterland.
Frequently asked questions
How much can a factory rooftop in Galați generate?
About 124,800 kWh a year on a 100 kWp array. That is 100 kWp multiplied by Galați's specific yield of 1,248 kWh/kWp; larger roofs scale linearly until structure, shading or grid export caps the design.
What payback does factory rooftop solar see in Galați?
Around 5.7 years when most of the generation is used on site. Factories usually beat empty warehouses on that score because daytime process load matches the solar curve.
How does SolarScout find factory rooftops in Galați?
It combines OpenStreetMap industrial building tags with satellite imagery and, where available, Google Solar modelling — then exports Galați factories as leads with roof area and a €15,725/year worked example on 100 kWp.
