World's largest solar project to be built in California

OptiSolar has announced that they intend to build the world's largest PV array in California! It is 40x bigger than the largest solar plant currently in America.

Exciting development because they have opted for thin-film solar, a newer technology that shows that California and OptiSolar want to put their money where their amorphous silicon technology is.

Big news for California, even bigger news for solar power en general because this plant will produce the same amount of energy as a Coal-Fired power plant.

America is more than ready for solar power and this is a genuine example of it. It isn't alternative energy anymore this is a step into the future. A future where America is actually setting an example for other countries to follow.

  • good, now get them to the rest of the US and China, on the double!

    i think its going to be funny when the day comes that O beautiful, for spacious skies, for silver waves of solar rays, for purple mountain majesties, above the windmills plain!

  • Wow. This sounds promising.

    Fareed Zakaria said last night on Charlie Rose that India and China are planning to build 85 new coal burning plants by 2020.

    Not only should we try this here, but we need to work with other countries as well.

    Hmm . . . money :-(

  • i think that everyone is missing the fact that even though this is clean energy its still on a grid system that can be manipulated by dirty corporations like enron did in california a few year back.

    one of the most promising things about solar energy is that it has the potential to make large portions of the population completely energy independent...off the grid powering their own homes & neighborhoods without any input from huge energy companies that have so far been totally complicit in destroying the earth.

    having said that, i do recognize that anything that produces lower cost energy for the masses that doesn't pollute is a giant step forward!)

  • Why aren't more states going this way? Even in Wisconsin we get sun. Yet I don't see a big move toward solar going on around here. We even have towns arguing over the damage caused by wind turbines?? It gets very frustrating to live in a state that just doesn't seem to be doing much about the climate crisis but talk. Good for CA.
