As reported by Tech Xplore, officials in Iraq have completed a solar plant that will be capable of producing up to 300 megawatts of electricity at its peak. Located in the desert in the Karbala province, the solar plant represents the start of a new era of energy production in the country.
[pdf] The core components are photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels capture sunlight. They convert it into electricity. The system also includes inverters. Inverters change DC power to usable AC power. Battery storage is often an optional part. Batteries store energy for use when the sun isn’t shining.
