Large scale solar projects are a very recent development globally and little is known, both in theory and in practice, about specific design features and risk mitigation strategies adopted by such large-scale solar projects.
Second, conduct in-depth cost-benefit assessments before embarking on large-scale solar PV projects. Prioritize the evaluation of infrastructure prerequisites, and cost control measures, and explore incentives, subsidies, and sustainable financing options to attract investments while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
Interconnecting large-scale photovoltaic (PV) facilities with the grid in the appropriate place is now a significant obstacle for power practitioners to overcome. Separate transmission lines are the most effective option when integrating large-scale PV-GenCos and PV-IPPs with contracted DisCos (Sinsel et al. 2020).
The modern power markets introduce higher penetration levels of solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation units on a wide scale. Along with their environmental and economic advantages, these variable generation units exhibit significant challenges in network operations.
Using unused lands such as Gobi, desert and wasteland to build PV plants can reduce the construction cost of photovoltaic projects and improve the economy. At the same time, it plays a positive role in improving local ecology and developing industries.
When incorporated with large-scale PV plants to form intelligent PV power plants, energy storage systems (ESS) can contribute to the economic improvement of solar PV power plants and enable them to participate in the electricity markets like conventional generators.

Large-Scale Solar Siting Resources | Department of Energy
While residential solar is most commonly found on rooftops, utility-scale and other large-scale solar projects have much more flexibility for siting. As the United States works toward decarbonizing the electricity system by 2035, solar capacity will need to reach one terawatt (TW), which will require more diversity of siting configurations. There is approximately
