-where the energy to produce the electricity for the solar powered plant comes from and how the energy is converted to electricity.
I can't answer every question but I can help you out.
First think of electricity as free the flow of electrons.
mechanical energy is converted to energy through a turbine or my personal favorite an Electrostatic generator.. The energy put in moves turbines or plates to generate ions which lose their electrons through the wire and the flow is continously transported by a strong positive power source. To deliver the power to homes usally AC power is used because the amps and volts can be altered when they go through the electrical poles and into your house.
Solar power plants as of now are rare because they are in effcient at capturing photons hence the name photovoltaic cells. But there is always hope on the horizon.
