For example, If I placed 100 solar panels of 250W each one, will this be a 25000W (25KW) solar power plant ?
I suspect it's not, because if was so a identical system on sahara desert and one identical in Finland, would produce a very different final output per month.

Yes pretty much.
Then when you start charging batteries or transmitting the power long distance, overall losses are even higher.
A remote solar farm would have transmission losses of up to 20%. This is where individual roof top solar grid tie systems win big and the huge government funded projects lose.
