What are photovoltaic parks?
Photovoltaic parks are installations dedicated to generating electrical energy through photovoltaic panels. These panels convert sunlight into electricity through a physical process known as the photovoltaic effect. These are plants located in areas where exposure to the sun is optimal and can vary in size depending on the required energy. For residential use, installations are small. However, to supply entire communities or national grids, the creation of photovoltaic parks is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photovoltaic Parks
What are the benefits of using photovoltaic parks?
These parks represent an important source of clean and renewable energy, as the sun is an endless source of energy. Additionally, their operation does not generate greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to reducing environmental impact.
What is the maintenance like for a photovoltaic park?
Their maintenance is relatively simple and they have a long lifespan, making them an attractive investment both economically and environmentally.
To maintain a photovoltaic park, it is necessary to conduct regular inspections, clean the panels, maintain the electrical system, and control vegetation, among other tasks.
How much does a photovoltaic solar park generate?
The amount of electricity generated by a photovoltaic solar park depends on several factors such as the park’s size, the quality and quantity of solar panels used, geographical location (climate and solar radiation), panel tilt, battery and inverter efficiency, among others.
On average, a well-designed and located photovoltaic solar park can generate around 1,500 kWh (kilowatt-hours) per kW (kilowatt) installed annually in areas with good access to sunlight, but this value can vary significantly depending on the aforementioned factors.
