A solar power plant (SES) is an engineering structure that converts solar energy into electrical energy. The work of the generating power plant is based on the direct conversion of solar energy into electricity in photovoltaic cells made of semiconductor material (silicon) and combined into photovoltaic modules.

Equipment
A typical network photovoltaic system consists of the following elements:
– Solar panels – convert solar radiation into direct current.
– Network inverters – converting direct current (DC) to alternating current with industrial frequency.
– SES monitoring and control System – controls the parameters of operation and serviceability of all ES components.
– Counters – monitor the performance of the SES, as well as accounting for the amount of electricity sold -

Fuel
The only source of “fuel” for SES is solar radiation.
