Although Ivanpah has a nameplate capacity of nearly 400 megawatts, solar plants typically operate below full capacity because they only generate electricity when the sun is shining. Even so, the facility has underperformed.

Top scientists were shocked by this unexpected discovery.

They must really cook the specs these facilities in order to sell them. I have a two-year-old home system that is rated at 12.8KW, and even on some partly cloudy days, it will crank out over 13.2KW during the midday hours. Of course, it doesn't charge at night, but that's what the batteries are for.
