Benefits are: Lower Cost per Unit of Energy Produced. One of the primary benefits of building larger solar power plants is the lower cost per unit of energy produced. This is because larger plants can take advantage of economies of scale, which means that the cost per unit of energy produced decreases as the size of the plant increases.
