[0002] Photovoltaic power station is a power station that converts solar radiation energy into electrical energy through a solar cell array. This type of power station can be divided into independent solar photovoltaic power station and grid-connected solar photovoltaic power station according to the operation mode. Independent solar photovoltaic power station is mainly used in areas without electricity far away from the public power grid and some special places, such as providing lighting, watching TV, listening to the radio and other basic living electricity for farmers, herdsmen and fishermen in remote rural areas, pastoral areas, islands, plateaus and deserts, and providing power for special places such as communication relay stations, coastal and inland navigation marks, cathodic protection of oil and gas pipelines, meteorological power stations, highway maintenance and border outposts. Grid-connected solar photovoltaic power station is a solar photovoltaic power station connected to the public power grid and jointly undertakes the task of power supply. It is an important development direction for solar photovoltaic power generation to enter the stage of large-scale commercial power generation and become a part of the power industry.
