Where are you: Home > World's largest photovoltaic power plants > Range 251-300
Data about installed power capacity in 2009 is available in
PV Power Plants 2010 Industry Guide, published by Solarpraxis.
More detailed data for past years is available in pvresources
Annual Review 2008 Extended Edition ...
World's largest photovoltaic power plants are presented in
the table below.
The list is divided into tables - each table includes 50 power plants. For each listed plant
basic data is available (power, country, location, basic description etc.). Currently list with
1000 large photovoltaic plants is available (peak power > 1.6 MWp). In the table you
may find different systems:
standalone, hybrid, distributed, building integrated etc. But only systems (or system)
which forms a unique photovoltaic power plant as a whole, are considered.
If some power plants are missing and should be included in this table, or if some entries in the table
should be modified, please send information to
.
Countries where large-scale (>1 MWp) power plants were put into service are (ranked by cumulative power capacity installed as at December 2009):
- Spain, Germany, USA,
Italy, South Korea, Czech Republic
- China, Portugal, Canada, France,
Franch overseas departments/Reunion, Belgium
- Japan, Greece, United Arab Emirates,
Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland
