solar farms
Photovoltaic panel arrays
Solar farms are large-scale installations of photovoltaic panels or mirrors that generate electricity from sunlight.
Unlike rooftop solar on individual buildings, solar farms occupy acres of land dedicated to energy production: The company built a solar farm on former agricultural land.
Also called solar parks or solar power stations.
