World's Largest Solar-Panel Power Plant Opens in Arizona
The 'world's largest solar-panel power plant' is now up and running in Arizona. The 'world's largest solar-panel power plant' is now up and running in Arizona. Situated on 2,400 acres between Yuma and Phoenix, the 290-megawatt plant will be sending electricity to the state of California for the next two and a half decades. Under the 25 year long contract with Pacific Gas & Electric, Arizona's new photovoltaic power plant will be responsible for providing power to at least 100,000 homes in the neighboring state. If you're going by maximum electricity production, the Agua Caliente plant will generate enough power to supply 230,000 residences. The $1.8 billion facility is owned by NRG Energy, Inc. and MidAmerican Renewables, LLC. Chief financial officer at MidAmerican Renewables, Richard Weech commented 'It is exciting to see this project become fully operational and begin to realise the full benefit of emissions savings with the clean energy generated at Agua Caliente.' With well over 5 million photovoltaic modules scattered over roughly 10 square miles, there is a good reason why so many people are excited about the plant dedicated to clean energy.

only in murica they call that 'World's Largest Solar-Panel Power Plan'.
please read the news for once in your sorry life. -
I've been in the solar biz since 2010. When you don't have to pay anything upfront to go solar and savings right off the bat from your first electric bill then why not do it. Most people don't qualify but if you think you do or know of anyone in California, Nevada, Texas or Arizona then I can help. I pay $500 for every referral! 480-206-1251

I'm wondering that if it is possible to set the solar panels in mounted poles instead of installing these in the surface so that it would save the land (occupied by the huge number of panels) for alternative use or plantation.
I think if all the panels were elevated for at least 70 feet above the surface and using transparent panels, it would have saved a huge land to be used for agriculture or housing. -
how should I go about building one in Texas?

I think you need to take some time and go to inplix website to learn how to make it.

WORLD'S LARGEST IS NOW IN TAMILNADU,. INDIA ........ADANI'S 700MW PLANT

This is false. World largest energy station is in Morocco, North Africa.

Solar power is inefficient and costly. most panels are less than 20 percent efficient. I am all for solar when it becomes cost effective.

Aswsome........!!!!!

Seems like a waste of space for what you get out of it.

I've found great handbook on InpliX website. Great solutions for everyone I think
-
Could they go to Poland and help them with solar energy?
-
What did it cost?
-
Love it... Amazing
-
Good good I hope the furter in green power
-
Make your great effort.

too bad it is already old technology and takes up way too much ground and concentrated will scorch birds.
