The Erlasee Solar Park, also sometimes called the Gut Erlasee Solar Park, is located in one of the sunniest regions of Germany. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. On the former wine-producing Erlasee estate near Arnstein in Bavaria, in southern Germany, SOLON has constructed what is currently the largest tracking photovoltaic solar power station in the world with an output of 12 MW. Bavaria ( German:, with an area of 70553 Km² (27241 square miles and almost 12 A solar tracker is a device for orienting a solar photovoltaic panel or concentrating solar reflector or lens toward the sun Photovoltaics ( PV) is the field of technology and research related to the application of Solar cells for Energy by converting Sunlight directly Just under 1,500 "SOLON-Movers" tracker mounted arrays convert sunlight into environmentally friendly power, generating as much as the average consumption of the nearby town of Arnstein.

The plant cost £35 million and covers 77 hectares of land. [2]

Strong demand for solar cells from German farmers and homeowners resulted in another record year for the installation of solar Photovoltaic (PV systems in the country according to data Solar photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity and many solar photovoltaic power stations have been built mainly in Europe A geographic coordinate system enables every location on the Earth to be specified in three coordinates using mainly a spherical coordinate system.
