TLDR: 13000 acres, 2.85 million solar panels, eventual output 1.65GW, supposedly by 2024. Will start running at lower power earlier.
I don't know why putting them all in one place like that is preferable to decentralization.
- pomian 5y agoControl. It's a business model. just like a power plant, CH4 or coal fired, or nuclear. You build it, then charge for it. Economy of scale should make it cheaper per watt. Also, different customers. decentralised is still a good idea, but not enough to power the future.
