Not enough for the money invested. With overhead, mechanical failures, cloud cover plus the initial cost of instalation it will never be profitable, pretty much the same with wind energy.

IF it reaches full capacity and operates as planned, 392 megawatts.

Consider all the acreage, all the cost of mirrors, plus the $1.2 billion loan guarantee from the feds and it seems like a total waste. In the name of being green, they are wasting land, resources, and wild life ( apparently birds are being toasted if they get to close to the towers). Typical Jerry Flakeman effort.... I am convinced the bullet train will make a stop here
