A solar energy facility in the making
Boulder, Colorado. This is the beginnings of a solar energy facility in Boulder, Colorado.
This station is rated an 1 megawatt. I disagree with the rating method which misleads the public. It will rarely achieve this maximum! At night it's practically zero output. Cloudy days: little.
According to the city of Boulder: Solar facilities are rated (per industry standards) according to their maximum power generation output. The 75th Street Solar PV facility will have nameplate DC rating of 1 megawatt or 1,000,000 watts. This is the peak power generation (mid-summer, mid-day, clear skies).
