Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic (PV) cells, are electrical devices that convert the energy from the sun's rays into electrical energy. Solar cells operate by converting sunlight into electricity as long as there is sunlight available. One of the key advantages of solar cells is their ability to efficiently convert the abundant and free radiant energy from the sun into electrical energy without any waste. Unlike other non-renewable energy production methods such as fossil fuels, hydroelectric, and nuclear power plants, solar cells do not pollute the environment. It is crucial for solar cells to maintain their efficiency even in low radiation levels when sunlight is present. The development of grid-connected photovoltaic power plants has garnered significant attention due to reduced losses associated with proximity to the point of consumption, thereby minimizing the need for transmission from the power plant to the consumer. These power plants integrated into the distribution network offer numerous benefits, including enhancing line capacity, transformer utilization, voltage profile improvement, load distribution leveling, and enhancing power quality. This article investigates the quantitative and qualitative effects of operating a 50 kW grid-connected power plant located in the cultural and sports complex of Nikian Abhar. Improvement of the voltage profile up to 4.2%, reduction of power losses during peak hours up to 37% and reduction of energy losses up to 25.2 kilowatt-hour per day are among the results of the investigation.
