There
is scarcity of energy in India resulting in slowdown
of the development of Industries and economy. This
calls for investment in infrastructure to generate
energy for development. Now with the greenhouse effect
it is imperative that these projects are using technologies
with renewable sources as raw material. These technologies
consist of Solar, Wind and Hydro as the main sources.
As we all know in solar, Photovoltaic is the most
popular technology. There are a number of Solar Farms
coming up all over India which promise energy generation
for a long time to come without much operation or
maintenance costs. |

In
a Solar Farm, Photovoltaic panels are installed in a large
area which has maximum sunshine. These PV Panels are a array
of small silicon chips which generate small amount of electricity
by using Solar energy as input. When we connect a number
of panels together, we can get electricity which we can
use.
As
of October 2009, the largest photovoltaic (PV) power plants
in the world are the Olmedilla Photovoltaic Park (Spain, 60
MW), the Strasskirchen Solar Park (Germany, 54 MW), the Lieberose
Photovoltaic Park (Germany, 53 MW), the Puertollano Photovoltaic
Park (Spain, 50 MW), the Moura photovoltaic power station (Portugal,
46 MW), and the Waldpolenz Solar Park (Germany, 40 MW).
As
of October 2009, the largest photovoltaic power plant in North
America is the 25 MW DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center
in Florida. The plant consists of over 90,000 solar panels.
