Nellis Solar Power Plant in the United States.
80 MW Okhotnykovo Solar Park in Ukraine.

The following is a list of photovoltaic power stations that are larger than 25 MW in current net capacity. Solar photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity and many solar photovoltaic power stations have been built. As of May 2012, the largest individual photovoltaic (PV) power plants in the world are Golmud Solar Park (China, 200 MW), Agua Caliente Solar Project, (Arizona, 100 MW connected - to increase to 290 MW), Perovo Solar Park (Ukraine, 100 MW), Sarnia Photovoltaic Power Plant (Canada, 97 MW), Brandenburg-Briest Solarpark (Germany, 91 MW), Solarpark Finow Tower (Germany, 84.7 MW), and Montalto di Castro Photovoltaic Power Station (Italy, 84.2 MW). The Charanka Solar Park is a collection of solar power stations of which 214 MW were reported complete in April 2012,[1] on a 2000 ha site.[2] It is part of Gujarat Solar Park,[3][4] a group of solar farms at various locations in the Gujarat state of India, with overall capacity of 605 MW.[5]

Many large plants are under construction. The Desert Sunlight Solar Farm is a 550 MW solar power plant under construction in Riverside County, California, that will use thin-film solar photovoltaic modules made by First Solar.[6] The Topaz Solar Farm is a 550 MW photovoltaic power plant, being built in San Luis Obispo County, California.[7] The Blythe Solar Power Project is a 500 MW photovoltaic station under construction in Riverside County, California. The Agua Caliente Solar Project is a 290 megawatt photovoltaic solar generating facility being built in Yuma County, Arizona. The California Valley Solar Ranch (CVSR) is a 250 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic power plant, which is being built by SunPower in the Carrizo Plain, northeast of California Valley.[8] The 230 MW Antelope Valley Solar Ranch is a First Solar photovoltaic project which is under construction in the Antelope Valley area of the Western Mojave Desert, and due to be completed in 2013.[9]

Many of these plants are integrated with agriculture and some use innovative tracking systems that follow the sun's daily path across the sky to generate more electricity than conventional fixed-mounted systems. Solar power plants have no fuel costs or emissions during operation.
