A solar power plant (SPP) is an engineering structure that converts solar radiation energy into electrical energy. The operation 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 grid-connected photovoltaic system consists of the following elements:

• Solar panels – convert solar radiation into direct current.
• Grid inverters – convert direct current (DC) into alternating current with industrial frequency.
• SPP monitoring and control system – controls the operating parameters and health of all components of the PS.
• Meters – monitor the performance of the PS, as well as record the amount of electricity sold.

Ecology

The power plant’s electricity generation activities do not involve the formation of any pollutants. substances and their release into the atmosphere: solar panels are independent of fuel, do not emit any harmful substances, do not pollute the environment, and are silent during operation. Possible sources of atmospheric pollution at the designed facility are car parking and a diesel generator for operation in case of emergency situations.
Fuel

The only source of “fuel” for the solar power plant is solar radiation.
