How does utility-scale solar work?

Utility-scale solar works by capturing sunlight with PV panels and converting it into electricity. This electricity is then sent to the electric grid where customers can use it. To maximize efficiency, utility-scale projects use tracking systems that can automatically adjust the angle of the PV panel throughout the day to capture as much sunlight as possible. Additionally, monitoring and controlling technology solutions such as AlsoEnergy’s fully vertically-integrated utility solutions are extremely important for utility-scale projects to ensure all solar assets are optimally functioning to their best performance.
