Solar energy has made its way around the world as the most widely used renewable energy source. For this type of renewable energy, various structures have been created to increase its production. In this case we will talk about a solar farm.
In this article we will tell you everything you need to know about a solar farm, what are its characteristics, what is it for and what are its advantages.

As the price of solar panels has fallen, this type of photovoltaic park has gained popularity and has even been featured on the covers of the world's leading media outlets.
It's nice to be able to produce energy without polluting it with hydrocarbons, thereby gradually reducing the ecological footprint that humanity has left on the planet over the centuries.
Access to energy has become the biggest challenge facing humanity in recent times. While fossil fuels have been the main source of energy for centuries, they are not the only, let alone the best, option for a planet increasingly suffocated by the large amounts of carbon dioxide emitted by humans. But fossil fuels — not the only new energy provider, there are other energy sources called renewables that are planet-friendly and endless. Solar energy — one of them, and solar parks — the key to obtaining and managing it.
How does a solar farm work?
A solar farm, also known as solar parks, is a large structure in which several panels are installed to capture the sun's rays, which are then converted into usable electricity.
Solar energy — This is another type of energy called renewable energy, these are those clean and inexhaustible natural resources that are extracted in an environmentally friendly way. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable or green energy is environmentally abundant and does not produce greenhouse gases.
In particular, solar energy is obtained from the electromagnetic radiation of the Sun reaching the earth's surface. Today, this electromagnetic radiation can be converted into solar or thermal energy using photovoltaic panels, heliostats or solar collectors. By capturing sunlight, its energy can be converted into electricity.
Solar farms are large installations where large panels are placed over a certain area on the ground to capture sunlight. In addition, they are capable of converting said electromagnetic radiation energy into electrical energy, which can then be distributed to various regions, be it populations or specific locations for use.
Structure of a solar farm
In addition to the operation of solar farms, they also give us an almost poetic vision of their perfect organizational structure, which also meets the goal of protecting our planet from toxic gases while providing us with the energy we need.
Biologically speaking, the sun is our greatest source of energy and thanks to it, plants can carry out photosynthesis, which maintains the level of oxygen necessary for the functioning of all living things. But besides this, it can also be a supplier of electromagnetic energy. If we have the necessary solar farms, the sun's rays can meet the world's energy needs.
Here are the main advantages of a solar farm:
- Feeds over 1,500 homes per year (based on average domestic consumption of 3,300 kWh per year) and reduces CO2 emissions by 2,150 tons.
- They serve a dual purpose with sheep or other grazing animals and help maintain biodiversity.
- No by-products or waste are generated except during manufacturing or disassembly.
- They have less of a visual and environmental impact than other forms of electricity generation.
- Solar energy also creates investment and jobs for local communities, reducing dependence on fossil fuels imported from abroad.
- At the national level, Mexico wants to generate 2024% of its electricity from solar energy by 30.
- By 2050, solar energy will account for 60%, and about 85% of Mexico will be well distributed solar energy.
In general, solar farms are designed to produce at least 1 MWp without much maintenance, which is good for distributing power to at least 400 and up to 900 homes.
As a result, solar energy is often cheaper to produce than fossil fuels. Choosing sustainable answers the three Bs: good, beautiful and cheap. They are usually built near suitable connection points where developers install power lines to connect the solar farm to the grid.
Keep in mind, however, that connecting these solar farms to the grid can be difficult because the larger the solar farm, the more difficult it is to safely connect the power output to the grid. This does not ignore the fact that connecting links are expensive, up to a million dollars. Although none of this matters when you can contribute to improving the quality of life of the planet and people at competitive energy costs.
Believe it or not, this model of photovoltaic park began not in the millennium, but in the 80s. when sunlight was first seen at the first solar farm in California, USA.
This solar panel farm has now ceased operation, but it ushered in the era of solar energy production, which was soon followed by countries such as China, Spain and Germany.
