Solar farms are large-scale installations that utilize solar panels to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. These facilities can be made up of thousands of solar panels arranged to maximize exposure to sunlight, usually located in areas with ample sunlight, such as open fields or deserts. Solar farms can generate electricity for distribution to the grid, powering homes and businesses, or they can provide energy directly to local consumers. They contribute to renewable energy production, help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and play a role in lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Solar farms can vary in size, from a few acres to several hundred acres, depending on the energy demand they aim to meet.
