A utility-scale solar power plant is designed to generate large amounts of solar energy that are fed directly into the grid. These systems are installed by energy companies or governments to supply solar power to the public or support the overall electricity network.

Without energy storage, utility-scale plants provide a consistent and large-scale source of clean energy to the grid during daylight hours. Their primary role is to meet regional or national energy demands while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The lack of storage simplifies maintenance and lowers costs, making them an efficient solution for large-scale solar power generation.
