List of photovoltaic power stations - wikipedia List of photovoltaic power stations Map all coordinates using : OpenStreetMap Google Maps Download coordinates as : KML GPX Tengger Desert Solar Park Solar Park ( 1,547 MW ) is the world 's largest solar since 2016. The following is a list of photovoltaic power stations that are larger than 150 megawatts ( MW ) in current net capacity. Most are individual photovoltaic power stations, but some are groups of co-located plants owned by different independent power producers and with separate transformer connections to the grid. Wiki - Solar reports total global capacity of utility - scale photovoltaic plants to be some 96 GW which generated 1.3 % of global power by the end of 2016. The size of photovoltaic power stations has increased progressively over the last decade with frequent new capacity records. The 97 MW Sarnia Photovoltaic Power Plant went online in 2010. Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park reached 200 MW in 2012. In August 2012, Agua Caliente Solar Project in Arizona reached 247 MW only to be passed by three larger plants in 2013. In 2014, two plants were tied as largest : Topaz Solar Farm, a PV solar plant at 550 MW in central coast area and a second 550 - MW plant, the Desert Sunlight Solar Farm located in the far eastern desert region of California. These two plants were superseded by a new world 's largest facility in June 2015 when the 579 MW Solar Star project went online in the Antelope Valley region of Los Angeles County, California. In 2016, the largest photovoltaic power station in the world was the 850 MW Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, in Gonghe County, Qinghai, China. Additional larger solar plants, including one over 200,000 MW, have been proposed around the world.
