What are the advantages of solar farms?

Solar farms are large arrays of solar panels open to the sunny sky. Competitors to thermal power plants, they are large photovoltaic systems capable of producing utility-scale electricity.

According to statistics, at the end of 2019, there were 1,200 solar farms around the world with a total power generation capacity of 400 gigawatts. In the past decade, many companies have shown great interest in solar power stations because solar farms have great advantages over other power stations.

Solar farms use sunlight to generate electricity, which is free and renewable. Solar modules absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. Unlike fossil fuels, the sun is eternal. Solar farms use solar energy to generate electricity and do not produce any greenhouse gas emissions, making them environmentally friendly.

Solar agriculture uses renewable energy for production and has relatively low energy costs. Initial equipment cost is the major cost of a solar panel system. They do not consume any significant resources while running and therefore, maintenance costs are very low. Solar modules do not degrade significantly over time and can continue to operate for 25 years.
