Photovoltaic power station, refers to a use of solar energy, the use of special materials such as silicon panels, inverters and other electronic components of the power generation system, connected to the grid and power transmission to the grid power generation system. Photovoltaic power plants are currently the most energy-saving green energy development projects that are encouraged by the state. Can be divided into an independent power generation system with a battery and a gridless power generation system without a battery. Solar power generation is divided into thermal power generation and photovoltaic power generation. Now into the commercialization of solar energy, refers to the solar photovoltaic power generation.
Photovoltaic power generation products are mainly used for three major aspects: First, to provide power for non-electric occasions; Second, solar energy products, such as various types of solar charger, solar street lights and solar lawns, etc .; Third, Which in the developed countries have a large area to promote the implementation. By 2009, China's grid-connected power generation has not yet begun to promote, but the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games part of the electricity is provided by solar power and wind power.
December 4, 2013, located in Qinghai Province, Republican County Photovoltaic Power Generation Park, the world's largest water-optic complementary photovoltaic power plant - Longyangxia water and light complementary 320 MW grid-connected photovoltaic power plant officially launched and run, Power generation, from the power supply to solve the problem of poor stability of photovoltaic power generation.
