IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 05 2013: An aerial view of the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility with Tower 1, 2 and 3, where heliostats installation is nearly completed.
Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts gross, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 173,500 heliostat mirrors spread over approximately 3,500 acres, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to turn a conventional steam turbine. The project ā owned by NRG Solar, Google and BrightSource Energy ā is currently the largest solar thermal plant under construction in the world. The project is being constructed by Bechtel.

July 26, 2017 - Nipton, CA- Heliostats and solar tower at the Ivanpah Solar Project, owned by NRG Energy, Bright Source Energy,Bechtel and Google. Over 300,000 software-controlled mirrors track the sun in two dimensions and reflect the sunlight to boilers that sit atop three 459 foot tall power towers. When the concentrated sunlight strikes the boilersā pipes, it heats the water to create superheated steam, providing electricity to 140,000 California homes. (Photo by DENNIS SCHROEDER / NREL)

Scope and content note: flat plate solar heating collectors built by the Solaron Corporation, and installed on the roof of the Gump Glass Company in that city. The installation is one of the first industrial uses of solar heating in the nation. The hot air collectors will provide heating for about 8,000 square feet of office space. A rock filled bin provides storage of heat for evening and bad weather use. The storage will provide for up to two cloudy days of heat before requiring supplementary heat from a conventional source, 05/1975.

Original Caption: Solar heating and cooling demonstration project, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. This home is one of three completed by the university using a liquid solar heating system for both heating and air conditioning. The system has drawbacks corrosion is a problem, an anti-freeze must be added on cold nights and heavy reinforcement is required for the roof because of the rooftop collectors, 05/1975.

Heidel Hollow Farms has been a family owned farm since 1852 and is currently an 1,800 acre operation in Germansville, PA. Led by David Fink, President of Heidel Hollow Farms, they mainly produce and compact hay for export and grow produce on 300 acres for local sale. With the financial help of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) an 896 panel solar array was recently installed on non farmable diversion ditches. Rated at 200 kilowatts, they project 240 megawatts of electricity to be produced each year, providing up to 70% of the farms electrical needs. Electrical energy is sent into the local power grid for credit and draw power from the grid with preexisting connections. Photograph was taken on Wednesday, April 20, 2011.
