A solar power plant is a facility that converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels. These panels are made up of many solar cells that capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity can then be transformed into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses. Solar power plants can be built in various sizes, from small installations on rooftops to large solar farms covering vast areas. They contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, making them an important part of the transition to renewable energy sources like solar energy.
