Utility scale solar refers to large solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that generate electricity to be fed into the electrical grid. Compared to residential or commercial rooftop solar installations, utility scale projects are ground-mounted systems that range in size from 5 megawatts (MW) to over 1 gigawatt (GW).
The energy from utility-scale solar projects is sold to utility buyers through power purchase agreements (PPAs), though occasionally the farm can be owned by the utility. The utility then distributes the energy to customers, both commercial and residential, that are connected to the grid.
The most significant barrier to utility scale solar is the high upfront capital costs required. Constructing a large solar farm requires major investments in land acquisition, solar panels, inverters, racking systems, electrical equipment, and labor. These costs can run into the hundreds of millions of dollars depending on the size of the project.
However, solar panel farms at the utility scale will typically be at least one megawatt (MW) in size, capable of supplying electricity to about 200 households. What is the largest solar farm in the world?
