solar power information
What’s a good source of information about solar power?
What’s a good source of information about solar power? I don’t want just basic information about how solar power works. I want to see serious analysis about the possibility of large scale solar power projects. I’d like to know how much power per acre of land can be generated, how much it would cost to build, and stuff like that.
There is a large scale solar project happening at Nellis Air Force base in Nevada that provides a good deal of information. The megawatts per acre (.11 per acre) can be calculated based on the information they give. But of course, that is also based on the Nevada sunlight hours and will be different depending on where you are.
A PR piece on the project can be found here:
