Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics, indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination as per Wikipedia.org.
A solar power plant is any type of facility that converts sunlight into electricity.
How does a solar power plant work?
Most solar PV panels are made from semiconductor materials, usually some form of silicon. When photons from sunlight hit the semiconductor material free electrons are generated which can then flow through the material to produce a direct electrical current.
This is known as the photo-effect in physics. The DC current then needs to be converted to alternating current (AC) using an inverter before it can be directly used or fed into the electrical grid.
PV panels are distinct from other solar power plants as they use the photo-effect directly without the need for other processes or devices. For example, no liquid heat-carrying agent, like water, is needed as in solar thermal plants.
PV panels do not concentrate energy they simply convert photons into electricity that is then transmitted somewhere else.
