Solar photovoltaic power plants

Rooftop and utility-scale plants, and the equipment inside them.

Solar PV power plants convert the sun's light directly into electricity.

Rooftop solar power plants

Installed on roofs, typically up to several hundred kW. A good long-term investment for industries, commercial establishments and individuals who want to use renewable energy on their premises.

Utility-scale solar plants

Plants connected directly to the utility grid, with capacities in MW or even GW. They can use fixed-tilt, single-axis or dual-axis tracking structures.

Main equipment of a solar power plant

  • Solar modules
  • Module mounting structures
  • Cables
  • String combiner boxes
  • Inverters
  • Transformers, LT and HT switchgear
  • Four-pole structures
  • Meters and the power evacuation line
