This study focused on predicting a 10-year performance analysis of a large-scale solar power plant by using 1 year of real-time data from the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park (QASP) situated in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. . Using less fossil fuel to generate electricity, or “grid decarbonization,” will require massive deployments of large-scale renewable energy projects, especially solar and wind. As with previous energy transitions, clean energy deployment will create benefits and costs that are not evenly. . A solar power plant is a facility that converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. In contrast, CSP systems use mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight. . Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compiled and synthesized empirical data on the U. Solar generation in the state has increased from 9,000-megawatt hours to over 1M megawatt hours in the past seven years. Utility-scale photovoltaic arrays are an economic investment across most of the United States when health and climate benefits are taken into. .
