Solar power plant
The term solar plant refers to individual projects developed by a single developer or consortium, whether or not it is spread over different sites or is under various phases of development. Solar parks are multiple plants in one area under one entity. Nowadays, the largest solar parks have more than 50 individual solar power plants. This concept was first developed in India and China when suitable locations were found that could host several plants.
