Firstly, What is a Solar Energy Field?
It may also be known as a solar farm, solar panel farm or photovoltaic park. Despite the abundance of names, they are all generally referring to the same thing. Unlike a traditional farm that focuses on tending and harvesting vegetables, a solar farm focuses on tending solar panels and harvesting electricity.
The farm consists of multiple, stationary rows of solar panels that are angled toward the sun. The solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into energy. This energy is then sold to utility companies or used directly by households. This type of large scale solar energy field is known as utility-scale solar. In regard to scale, a photovoltaic park is one of the largest types of utility-scale farms. A photovoltaic park is constructed using hundreds to thousands of solar panels mounted across acres of land.
