It was positively mind-boggling! The size of the facility, the enormous acreage that it covers in which every available bit of space is covered with solar panels in two separate enormous circular configurations, with the control operations in the center of the circles is indeed jaw dropping, a facility that must be seen to be believed, especially as you drop in on it from the very edges of the atmosphere.
I want to express my utmost appreciation for having informed us of it because it is like nothing ever seen. Thanks again very much.
I have the feeling that if solar power has a future it will not be in the form of these huge plants, but more likely via solar panels installed in individual buildings. Even then, it might only be supplementary power that needs to be augmented by traditional power sources. Maybe somebody here knows what the life-cycle cost of such an arrangement would be compared to current practice. So far, many of the highly-touted experimental “green” buildings are enormously expensive.
