How Do Solar Farms Work?
Solar farms are extensive installations of ground-mounted solar panels, otherwise known as photovoltaic systems or PV systems, which are typically connected to the National Grid so as to supply utility power. A solar farm converts sunlight to electricity, through panels which are made out of photovoltaic cells; these panels absorb the light and convert it into a direct current of energy. An inverter is then used to change the direct current into an alternating current, so it may be employed by the Grid. A solar farm can vary in size, from one acre to hundreds of acres, generating a clean source of energy for users across the country.
FAQ's
In the majority of cases, planning permission is required for a solar farm. A solar farm is a large-scale operation, and the scale of the project will tend to make permission a necessity on commercial, agricultural, and industrial land. If the solar panel system is greater than 9m sq. - which for an efficient farm, it will be - it will require planning permission.
The most suitable land for an efficient solar farm is flat, or with a south-facing slope, though minimal incline is desirable; this enables greater irradiance. The condition of the land is moreover important; wetland can affect the stability of the infrastructure, and the land should be clear from any obstructions. A flood risk of the land should be calculated before installation of a solar farm can be approved.
Building a solar farm poses several advantages, the most primary being the creation of a clean and renewable source of energy. A solar farm poses minimal disruption to the surrounding environment - they are safe, noiseless, and wildlife can continue to thrive around them.
Solar farms are profitable, with a good return on investment. They moreover have minimal ongoing maintenance costs.
