Solar Energy 101: An introduction to and overview of solar farm renewable energy power generation systems

Solar farms, also known as solar parks or solar fields, are large areas of land containing interconnected solar panels positioned together to harvest large amounts of solar energy. Solar farms are designed for large-scale solar energy generation that feeds directly into the grid, as opposed to individual solar panels that usually power a single home or building.

 

This report details the full function of a solar farm from solar panels through switchgear and transformers to exporting power to the grid. It also offers critical maintenance guidance, risk management and insurance considerations.
