You would likely need 3 maybe 4 of these kits to run 1000w worth of light, the air conditioner you would need to cool the light, dehumidifier, etc which is a decent grow but still pretty small and what i consider "hobby" size. And they are only going to be giving you the power that you need when they are getting direct sunlight. Cloudy days and indirect light wont give you the power you need. To put it in other words, its not an option.

Expensive to the point that it would take i would guess in the ball park of 30 years to pay for the investment. And by then, you need new panels. I pay about 100 a month in additional electric when my 1000w grow is running. And apart from the corona grow i decided to do this summer, i dont grow in the summer because its not very economical.
