Sempra U.S. Gas & Power’s Copper Mountain Solar complex in Boulder City, Nevada is currently one of the largest photovoltaic (PV) solar plants in the USA. A recently completed first phase expansion of this landmark solar installation, called Copper Mountain Solar 2, further solidifies Sempra U.S. Gas & Power and Boulder City as sustainable energy leaders. Copper Mountain Solar 2 is a joint venture of Sempra U.S. Gas & Power and Consolidated Edison Development.
The Solar array will be used to trickle charge the lithium battery bank in the Kimberly Kamper trailer while in storage. www.kimberleykampers.com/
A future project will be to add a battery and separate MPPT charger to power a 12 v garden fountain pump and outdoor LED lighting.

Trying out a 150Wp #solar panel at my apartment. Max today was 100W. Have to figure out a way to mount it as a window. #solarenergy #solarpanel #green #electricity #sustainable #apartment #12V #battery #offgrid
This 360 acre solar generating station is quite impressive. I have been watching the construction. It is not yet on line but when it does start producing electricity I have been told that it will power many thousands of homes. The individual panels are about 3 feet tall and aimed at about 45 degrees. The array is set up right under a power line so the power can be pumped right into the grid.
So who knows. Will electrons flow into or out of this field? I am pretty sure the answer is no. Alternating electric fields do not require a net flow of electrons but there will be a movement of electrical energy into the wires. It is so interesting that all this happens without any visible sign other than what might be seen in the electrical substations.
You can't see it from this shot but there are more panels set up across the street in the far left. 360 acres is a large area. It is 145 Hectres or about a half of a square mile. I took these shots using a Canon EF zoom 1:2.8 wide angle lens then stitched them together using the stitch feature of my Zoom Bowser software that used to come with Canon Cameras.
San Antonio, Texas: This a small part of a 445 acre solar (PV) farm. It is the first of 7 know as the Alamo Solar Project. It contains 167,680 panels rated at 295 watts each and the total output is 41MW.
Solar panels at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Output on this partly
cloudy day was 360W when I walked by.

My father-in-law found some old slides at the local dump. I've been slowly transferring them to digital pictures and have found some very interesting pictures. This is my Vivian Maier project (without the financial gain).

Nine of the twelve solar panels. This is a 1.6 kilowatt system. After the rebates and tax credits it will cost us $7,500 or so. But then we can start selling back power and watching the meter run backwards.
From the local rockshop/antique store comes this 4" wide solarized glass medicine bottle. This demonstrates the two color fluorescence of solarized glass discovered by Bob Fosbury.

Failed solar-powered electrical generating facility that utilized an apparatus that focused sunlight into a crucible of combustible material which in turn created steam to power a generator.
Some of the 90 solar panels recently installed at Ruby Falls as part of the environmental initiative. Ruby Falls is proud to be the first attraction in the U.S. to achieve Green Globe Certification for their environmental efforts. More information on Ruby Falls can be found at www.rubyfalls.com.
This solar farm was built on top of a landfill located in Rehoboth, MA. The landfill had not been used for decades and will now provide clean renewable energy to customers nearby. The system size is about 2.4 MW DC. Photo by Lucas Faria.

These slim high powered solar panels and the perfect addition to your next off the grid project! The output is 10W at 18V, 0.55A making these small panels 1/3 the cost per Watt over similar sized panels. Best of all, these are waterproof, weather proof, and mild-impact shatter proof.
Each solar panel is framed with aluminum and has a stripped cable pair.
For Angelo's 7th birthday, mum Julieanna requested a Solar System cake. Even though we were in lockdown for the 2nd time, Julieanna made sure her boy had something super special delivered to brighten his day :)

I went to Brea, California because they have solar panels, but i was not able to take photos of the tops, so I had to stick with photos of the bottom.
