Solar Field Summary

We visited the solar field in the late afternoon after seeing the power project that relied on using the sun's rays to heat oil and generate power. Although we weren't allowed to take pictures inside the compound, the attached pics were taken from the outside. The main part of the solar field was a large turbine that sat high above the earth in a structure that sort of looked like a flower. The field was surrounded by solar panels, some of which had been dismantled due to a recent storm. The wattage generated by the field was much lower than the field we had just come from - roughly 500 KW - and the purpose of the field was to generate power for a nearby community that could not afford to have power directly fed from the grid.
