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. They are differentiated from most building-mounted and other decentralized solar power because they supply power at the utility level, rather than to a local user or users. The generic expression utility-scale solar is sometimes used to describe this type of project.
What is a Solar Farm?
A solar farm is a large collection of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that absorb energy from the sun, convert it into electricity and send that electricity to the power grid for distribution and consumption by customers like you. Solar farms — which you’ll sometimes see being called solar parks or photovoltaic power stations — are usually mounted to the ground instead of rooftops and come in all shapes and sizes.
AS Agricultural Solar Mounting System is designed for installation of solar power system on farmland, enabling much more ecomonic use of the farmland while maintaining its normal cultivation. According to light exposure proportion and terrain, the system can be designed with given solar panel arrays. The high-strength anodized aluminum alloy structure and hot-dip galvanized ground screw foundation ensures an anti-corrosive mounting system.
Solar power is grabbing the attention of farmers and landowners across the country.
After all, solar is being hailed as the new ‘cash crop,’ offering far superior returns than traditional items like corn or soybeans. (Just Google ‘solar panels cash crop’ and you’ll see what I mean).
So, if you own a large piece of land should you be looking to harvest solar power on your property? And if yes, how should you go about starting one? We’ll tell you what exactly constitutes a solar farm, how much they cost, and how you would go about starting one.
