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.
The latest government figures indicates UK solar photovoltaic (PV) generation capacity has reached 12,404 MW in December 2017. Sarnia Photovoltaic Power Plant near Sarnia, Ontario, was in September 2010 the world's largest photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 80 MW p. until surpassed by a plant in China.
Nowadays, the largest solar parks have more than 50 individual solar power plants. This concept was first developed in India and China when suitable locations were found that could host several plants. China and India are both among the top five countries in the world in terms of cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity.
China and India are both among the top five countries in the world in terms of cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity. In general, China dominated the global solar market with almost 600 gigawatts of solar PV capacity added in 2022 – more than the rest of the world combined.
The United States conducted much early research in photovoltaics and concentrated solar power and is among the top countries in the world in deploying the technology, being home to 4 of the 10 largest utility-scale photovoltaic power stations in the world as of 2017.
As of 2019, about 97% of utility-scale solar power capacity was PV. In some countries, the nameplate capacity of photovoltaic power stations is rated in megawatt-peak (MW p), which refers to the solar array's theoretical maximum DC power output. In other countries, the manufacturer states the surface and the efficiency.
