solar farm

Photovoltaic power station

A solar farm is a large installation of photovoltaic panels that generates electricity from sunlight, typically covering acres of land.

Unlike rooftop solar for individual buildings, solar farms feed power directly into the electrical grid: The utility company built a solar farm on former agricultural land.

Also called a solar park or solar power station.
