solar power plants
Photovoltaic energy facilities
Solar power plants are facilities that convert sunlight into electricity on a large scale.
Photovoltaic plants use arrays of solar panels, while concentrated solar power plants use mirrors to focus sunlight and generate heat that drives turbines.
The solar power plant covers hundreds of acres of desert.
Also called solar farms.
