Top 5 Largest Solar Power Plants

The world is slowly but surely transitioning towards renewable energy sources, with solar power being one of the most popular choices. One of the most visible signs of this transition is the increasing number of large-scale solar panel power plants being built around the globe. In this blog post, we will explore the top 5 largest solar panel power plants in the world, from the largest to the smallest.

*List subject to change as these solar parks keep getting expanded every year.

1. Bhadla Solar Park, India - 2,245 MW

Bhadla Solar Park, located in the Indian state of Rajasthan, is the largest solar panel power plant in the world. With a capacity of 2,245 MW, it covers an area of over 14,000 acres. The park is divided into several phases, with each phase having its own capacity. The first phase, with a capacity of 260 MW, was completed in March 2017, while the final phase, with a capacity of 680 MW, was completed in May 2019. The power generated by the park is distributed to various states in India.

2. Huanghe Hydropower Hainan Solar Park, China - 2,200 MW

Located in China's Qinghai province, the Huanghe Hydropower Hainan Solar Park has a capacity of 2,200 MW. It covers an area of over 23,000 acres and consists of more than 6 million solar panels. The park was completed in 2018 and is connected to the grid through a 800 kV ultra-high voltage transmission line.

3. Pavagada Solar Park, India - 2,050 MW

The Pavagada Solar Park, located in the Indian state of Karnataka, has a capacity of 2,050 MW. It covers an area of over 13,000 acres and consists of more than 5 million solar panels. The park was developed by the Karnataka Solar Power Development Corporation Limited (KSPDCL) and the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). It was commissioned in 2019 and is expected to provide power to the state of Karnataka and neighboring states.

4. Benban Solar Park, Egypt - 1,650 MW

Located in the Aswan Governorate in Egypt, the Benban Solar Park has a capacity of 1,650 MW. It covers an area of over 14,000 acres and consists of more than 6 million solar panels. The park was developed by the Egyptian government and several private companies. It was completed in 2019 and is expected to provide power to more than 1 million homes.

5. Tengger Desert Solar Park, China - 1,547 MW

The Tengger Desert Solar Park, located in the Inner Mongolia region of China, has a capacity of 1,547 MW. It covers an area of over 16,000 acres and consists of more than 6 million solar panels. The park was completed in 2016 and is connected to the grid through a 750 kV ultra-high voltage transmission line.

These 5 solar panel power plants are leading the way in the transition towards renewable energy sources. With their impressive capacities and large areas, they are helping to provide clean energy to millions of people around the world. As technology continues to improve, we can expect to see even larger and more efficient solar panel power plants being developed in the years to come.
