ABSTRACT
Photovoltaic is a mature, reliable and sustainable technology in a booming market. However, the establishment of a photovoltaic power plant requires prior study of its feasibility. This means analysing whether it is technically possible to carry out a photovoltaic project, its economic relevance and the points of vigilance in order to seek an ecological and technico-economic optimum.
Self-consumption or sale, large or small installation, power plant on the ground, on roof, floating, photovoltaic projects are varied as well as points to study for an optimal design.

INTRODUCTION
The photovoltaic industry has developed numerous components, from the photovoltaic cells that make up the modules to the various electrical systems and integration structures.
Today, all the components of a photovoltaic system are competitive, enabling us to respond to a booming European and global market.
In this article, we look at the opportunity and feasibility of a photovoltaic power plant, the factors to be taken into account depending on how it is to be developed, the constraints of a potential site, its economic analysis and its positive impact on the environment.
