Solar farms are the easy manner of manufacturing safe, renewable, and domestically produced power for
numerous years after construction.
Different types of solar farms
- Ground Mounted: All the panels, structures, and inverters are mounted on the
ground. This type of large farm ranges from 10MW to 200 MW.
- Rooftop Solar Power Plant: Mostly all the panels, structures, and inverters are
mounted on the roof. This type of small farm ranges from KW to MW.
- Utility Scale Solar Power Plant: These are mostly ground-mounted and of high
capacity. They can feed to the grid or make their own grid.
- Solar Hybrid Power Plant: Hybrid means solar + wind power plant. It consists of
both renewable energy sources, making it highly efficient. These farms range from KW to MW.
- Battery Backup Solar Power Plant: These plants are used in remote locations
where there is no other source of electricity. Due to the battery backup, the cost of the plant
and maintenance is high.
- Stand Alone Solar Plant: This type of plant is also called an off-grid plant.
- Grid Connected PV System: These plants feed the power into the grid.
- Micro Grid Solution: Also called DC grids, these are used to feed small areas.
