A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park or solar farm, is a large-scale photovoltaic system designed for the supply of merchant power into the electricity grid, often in the gigawatt range.
This method is difficult and not efficient to produce electrical power on a large scale. Hence, to produce electrical power on a large scale, solar PV panels are used.
