A solar power plant that operates on the grid refers to a facility that generates electricity from solar energy and is connected to the existing power grid. This type of power plant utilizes solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity. The generated electricity is then fed into the grid, where it can be distributed and used by homes, businesses, and other consumers.
On-grid solar power plants often involve larger-scale installations, such as solar farms or utility-scale solar power plants. These facilities can have thousands or even millions of solar panels, allowing for significant electricity generation.
By connecting to the grid, on-grid solar power plants offer several advantages. They can
provide clean and renewable energy to a wider consumer base, contribute to the overall energy supply, and potentially enable the export of excess electricity. Additionally, when the solar power plant does not produce enough energy, the grid can supplement it, ensuring a consistent power supply. On-grid solar power plants contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable energy system.
