Nellis Solar Power Plant in the United States.

The following is a list of photovoltaic power stations that are larger than 50 MW in current net capacity. Most are individual photovoltaic power stations, but some are groups of co-located plants owned by different independent power producers and with separate transformer connections to the grid. The plants on this list as of April 2013 have a combined capacity of over 4 GW,[1][2] representing about one third of total global capacity of utility-scale plants, reported by Wiki-Solar to be some 21 GWAC at the end of 2013.[3][4]

Around the world 31.1 GW of PV systems were installed in 2012, up from 30.4 GW in 2011; PV remains, after hydro and wind power, the third most important renewable energy source in terms of globally installed capacity. [5]

Solar photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity and many solar photovoltaic power stations have been built. The size of these stations has increased progressively over the last decade with frequent new capacity records. Until 2006, the largest was the 1980s-vintage Carrisa Plain plant at 5.6 MW. The 22MW Pocking Solar Park was built in 2006. In 2008, the largest PV plant was the 60MW Olmedilla Photovoltaic Park. The 97 MW Sarnia Photovoltaic Power Plant went online in 2009. Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park reached 200MW in 2012. As of April 2013, the largest individual photovoltaic (PV) power plant in the world is Agua Caliente Solar Project, (Arizona, 290 MW).

Even larger plants are under construction. The Topaz Solar Farm is a 550 MW photovoltaic power plant, being built in San Luis Obispo County, California[6] and gradually commissioned since February 2013.[7] The Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is a 550 MW solar power plant under construction in Riverside County, California.[8][9]
