Bhadla Solar Park
Where is the world's largest solar park?
The 2,245 MW Bhadla Solar Park in the Jodhpur district, Rajasthan state, northwestern India - is the world's largest solar park. The Bhadla PV Park is on a 10,000 industrial complex in the village of Bhadla.
Where are the Largest Solar Parks in the World?
None of the following solar photovoltaic (PV) parks are really “small”, but compared with Bhadla Solar Park, they’re certainly smaller. Smaller than Bhadla, is the 1 GW Yanchi Solar Park, located south of Gaoshawo, Yanchi District, Ningxia, China. And also at 1 GW capacity is the Kurnool Ultra Mega Solar Park in the south Indian province of Andhra Pradesh,. And smaller still is the Longyangxia Dam Solar Park in China, at 850 MW.
The Sweihan Photovoltaic Independent Power Project in Abu Dhabi, UAE, is 1177 MW. Tengger Desert Solar Park takes up over 10,000 acres in China’s northwestern Ningxia province, and has a total capacity of 1,547 MW. India has a couple of solar PV parks that have 2+ GW of capacity: Bhadla Solar Park (2245 MW) and Pavagada Solar Park.

How are solar parks, solar plants, and solar farms different?
There is technically often a distinction between the terms “solar park” and “solar plant”. Some of the very large solar PV parks in the “top ten largest solar plants” list below would be more accurately listed as “solar parks” vs. “solar plants”. A "solar farm" can refer to either a solar park or a large solar plant (as opposed to a smaller community solar project).
The use of one particular term over another is subjective; but a solar park is best described as a group of individual solar plants in the same general industrial complex. Still, here’s a top ten list of the world’s largest solar plants, some of which might just as easily be called solar parks (and, in fact, often are given that term in the title of the solar facility). (Another example of a large solar plant is the Noor solar plant in Abu Dhabi, which has a capacity of over 1 GW. The Noor solar plant in Abu Dhabi is a notable omission from this list) >>>
