Result: 1,000 kW of photovoltaics is estimated to require 6.4 acres.
This calculation assumes a generating capacity of 1,000 kW, where
each kW requires an average of 0.004 acres per kW, and that the first 20% of
this capacity is placed on rooftops, and further that the remaining capacity is placed on land where the photovoltaic
panels can cover 50% of the land area.
