Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). The research has been underway since very beginning for the development of an affordable, in-exhaustive and clean solar energy technology for longer term benefits.
It directly converts sunlight into electricity, providing a flexible and scalable solution for a variety of energy needs, from small personal devices to large-scale power generation. Photovoltaic (PV) cells, commonly known as solar cells, are the heart of PV solar energy systems.
PV power generation systems can be categorized into two main types: standalone PV systems and grid-connected PV systems. Grid-connected PV systems consist of a PV array, converter, EMS, and other components. A typical distributed network of PV power plants is shown in Fig. 6. An SCADA system can be employed to be a subsystem of EMS in PV power plants.
Each type of system is designed to meet specific energy needs and settings. The main types include: Grid-Tied Systems: These are connected directly to the local utility grid. You can use solar power during the day and tap into the grid when solar production is low, often with the added benefit of net metering programs.
