Solar power. The selection and features.

Solar generators are a good alternative to the spring-summer period, where there is no central electricity. Let's speak about the components of solar power, its power and features of the installation.

The well-known Austrian company Activ Solar has completed the fourth, the last stage of construction of a solar power plant, located near the village of Perovo in Crimea, Ukraine. In this step, the total power plant, which before was 80 MW, were added a further 20 MW. After that, the total capacity of power plants in excess of 100 MW Perovo, making it the largest solar power plant in the world and put it to the first position in the ranking pvresources.com. It should be noted that up to this point first position of the ranking is a Canadian solar power «Sarnia», which has a capacity of 97 MW.

On the area of ​​200 hectares, equivalent to the area of ​​259 football fields, which takes power Perovo, has more than 440,000 silicon photovoltaic panels. The capacity of this power plant is enough for that to satisfy the electricity needs of the city of Simferopol, the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. A total capacity of solar power plants, which are located on the Crimean Peninsula, "Perovo", "Okhotnikovo" and "Rodnikovoye" is now equal to 187.5 MW, exceeding the mark of 15 per cent of the total energy needs of the whole of the Crimea, which is 1200 MW.

From an environmental point of view, putting into operation of solar power plants in operation Perovo will reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by 105 tons per year. In addition to the construction of the power plant, which lasted for about seven months, they involved more than 800 workers, some of whom will continue to work there, carrying out the maintenance and repair of plant equipment.

It is worth noting that solar power is not the only Perovo Ukrainian station included in the rating pvresources.com. Also in this rating there is another Ukrainian solar power - "Okhotnikovo", which has a capacity of 80 MW.
