The birth of any large-scale photovoltaic endeavor starts at the smallest scale - the photovoltaic cell. The PV cell, often referred to as a solar cell, is the basic building block of any solar plant. The design of these cells is paramount, as they capture and convert sunlight into electricity. Typically composed of semiconductors like silicon, these cells function by absorbing photons from

In this chapter of the project a description of the main components forming a large-scale PV solar power plant is done. The elements described below are going to be considered during the calculations used for the system design. The components described are: PV modules, inverters, transformers, switchgears and AC and DC cables.
Designing a large-scale PV power plant requires infrastructure that can handle such an installation. For instance, the location must be selected carefully to avoid shading from buildings, trees, or other obstructions.
The steps to calculate the PV solar power plant final design are shown below: - Location and climate data: In this case, to make the calculation more accurate a location closer to the real location of the PV project is added to the meteorological database.
Design the configuration of the components inside the PV plant. By knowing the configuration of the components, and in particular the configuration of the PV modules (optimum inter-row spacing and space for corridors) the magnitude of the shading losses affecting the PV modules can be obtained in a more accurate manner.
Grid connection for commercial solar power plants is often 11 kV or higher, so it’s usually necessary to step up the voltage using one or more transformers. The type of transformer should be selected based on the required capacity, its position within the electrical system, and the physical location and environmental conditions of the site.
A 3D model of the PV plant can be designed in order to obtain the shading losses. Furthermore, by knowing the configuration of the components inside the PV plant, AC and DC cables can be properly sized and their voltage drop calculated.
