How to build a PV solar station?

Identifying the location Before the construction process commences, one needs to identify the place to build the PV solar station and determine the point of connection to the grid. Thus, initially, You will plan the project and obtain planning and connection consents from the local authorities.

How does a solar photovoltaic plant work?

The operation of a solar photovoltaic plant is based on photons and light energy from the sun’s rays. The types of solar panels used in these types of facilities are also different.

Can solar power convert the sun's light and heat into electricity?

In this video from NOVA's Energy Lab, learn about the benefits and limitations of converting the Sun's light and heat into electricity. Animations show how two solar power technologies—photovoltaic cells and concentrated solar power systems—convert the Sun's energy into electrical energy.

How does a solar thermal power plant work?

This type of solar thermal power plant captures the sun's rays through concentrating or high-temperature collectors. The collectors are concave mirrors, that are mounted on a structure that allows their position to be modified to increase the intensity of the solar radiation, reaching temperatures greater than 250°C.

How does a photovolatic power plant work?

To optimize its operation, the photovolatic power plant also has a weather tower, which analyzes the environmental conditions to identify the solar radiation intensity and its short-term evolution, as well as informing of the exact sunset time.

How do photovoltaic cells generate electricity?

Thanks to the materials they are made of, when the sun's rays strike them directly, the electrons contained in the more external layers of the photovoltaic cells absorb the radiation and generate direct current electricity.
