Claim 12:
13. A method of constructing a power plant, the method comprising:
arranging a plurality of photovoltaic (PV) modules into a first region and a second region of the power plant, the first and the second region being adjacent to a wind turbine generator (WTG) of the power plant such that the WTG casts a shadow over at least one of the PV modules; and
connecting the PV modules within each region together wherein the PV modules of the first region are electrically connected to a first converter and to a local grid of the power plant via the first converter, and the PV modules of the second region are electrically connected to a second converter and to the local grid via the second converter, and wherein the PV modules of the first region are electrically isolated from the PV modules of the second region;
wherein the step of arranging the plurality of PV modules comprises arranging the modules to extend the first and the second region in substantially radial directions away from the WTG such that at most one of the two regions is at least partially covered by the shadow of the WTG at any time.
