Abstract

A solar power plant is disclosed for converting solar energy into electric energy, and having a plurality of solar cell units, each solar cell unit containing a first cell pole and a second cell pole. The cell poles can cooperate for feeding electric energy produced by the solar cell unit as direct current out of the solar cell unit. A direct-current converter can include a plurality of direct-current input poles and two direct-current output poles, each direct-current input pole being connected to at least one cell pole. The direct-current converter can convert input direct currents entered via the direct-current input poles, and having input voltages, into an output direct current having an output voltage, and feed the output direct current via the direct-current output poles out of the direct-current converter. The direct-current converter can include a three-phase inverter unit having three phase poles and two direct-voltage poles, the inverter unit being adapted to serve as a direct-current converter in such a manner that each of the three phase poles are adapted as direct-current input poles and each of the direct-voltage poles is in electrically conductive connection to exactly one direct-current output pole of the direct-current converter.
