Ground Mounted Solar Power Plant

It is a solar energy system where photovoltaic (PV) panels are mounted on structures installed into the ground. These systems are usually located in open land areas and are ideal for generating large amounts of electricity.

      
        Key Components
       Solar PV Panels – Capture sunlight and convert it into DC electricity.
Mounting Structures – Steel or aluminum frameworks to support panels. Types:
      Fixed-Tilt
Seasonal Tilt
Single-Axis Tracker
Dual-Axis Tracker

    
Inverters – Convert DC to AC electricity.
Combiner Boxes – Combine electrical inputs from multiple panels.
Transformers & Switchgear – Step-up voltage for grid use.
Monitoring System – Performance and maintenance tracking.
Protection System – Includes fuses, lightning arrestors, and earthing.
