A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, solar farm, or solar power plant, is a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power. They are different from most building-mounted and other decentralized solar power because they. . A solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant is an innovative energy solution that converts sunlight into electricity using the photovoltaic effect. This process occurs when photons from sunlight strike a material, typically silicon, and displace electrons, generating a direct current (DC). On this page you'll find resources to learn what solar energy is; how you, your business, or your community can go solar; and find resources for every step of the way. Some PV cells can convert artificial light into electricity. Sunlight is composed of photons, or particles of solar energy.

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. . The amount of sunlight that strikes the earth's surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world's energy consumption for a full year. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. . The heat from solar ponds enables the production of chemicals, food, textiles, warm greenhouses, swimming pools, and livestock buildings. Cooking and providing a power source for electronic devices can also be achieved by using solar energy.
