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 vary in size, from small installations on rooftops to large solar farms that cover vast areas of land. They contribute to renewable energy production, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, which is beneficial for the environment and public health.
