PV – Photovoltaic Power Plant

The abbreviation "PV" in a professional context usually refers to "Photovoltaic Power Plant". A photovoltaic power plant is a large energy system that uses photovoltaic panels or modules to convert sunlight directly into electricity. This process is based on the photovoltaic effect, which takes place in semiconductor materials, most commonly in silicon solar cells.

Photovoltaic power plants can range in size and capacity from small local installations to large, commercial and industrial systems. Photovoltaic power plants contribute to the production of renewable energy, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. They are an important part of the energy mix in many countries, where they are used to reduce the environmental impact and increase the share of renewable energy sources. PV plants are typically designed to be scalable and can adapt to different energy needs, from small community projects to large industrial installations.
