This plant is only 14-megawatts. It pales in comparison to the Solana Generating Station rated at 280-MegaWatts!. The installation went live @ the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. It was annually produce 30 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity. The energy will supply only 25% of the total base requirements. A system this large only provides a fraction of energy for those 12,000 individuals working on the base. Putting it into perspective this system spreads across 140 acres that are covered with 72,000 solar panels! Wow, that must be a pain to put together. More on the solar race coming soon!
