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 – owned by NRG Solar, Google and BrightSource Energy – is currently the largest solar thermal plant under construction in the world. The project is being constructed by Bechtel.

solar solider heads move as they want, bend with the wind and sun...
this is very cool to see and I wish it were much larger... I went here much later in the evening and I wondered for a long time about how we spend our money.... this is not a all far form the white house --wish the pres would stop by here...
many people walked by and wondered "what is she taking pictures of?"
Arlington County Presents Innovative Solar-Powered Art
June 7 - September 1, 2007
CO2LED is designed to promote the use of alternative energy sources and recycling, as part of Arlington's environmental initiative, FreshAIRE (Arlington Initiative to Reduce Emissions). At each site, the artists will erect hundreds of solar-powered LEDs (light-emitting diodes) secured to rods topped with reused plastic bottles. They will create a soft, undulating cloud of light

Discovery World is an interactive museum located on the waterfront in Milwaukee, WI. They have this prominent renewable energy demonstration project in front of their building and it includes three different types of small scale wind and a solar PV tracking system. They also have a couple different southerly facing solar PV arrays on top of their building.

Peng Zhou, right, a postdoctoral research fellow, conducts an experiment on the roof of the Wilson Student Team Project Center on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday morning, October 14, 2022.
Zhou and other members of Zetian Mi’s research group are using the large magnifying glass to focus the sunlight directly on a small semiconductor covered in water. The solar energy is used to separate the hydrogen and oxygen into separate elements. “Basically, we’re using green energy to extract hydrogen from water,” said Professor Zetian Mi.

The Central Solar Photovoltaic Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur.
Oct 15, 2012 - Mexican President Felipe Calderon kicked off on October 13, 2012 a 1-MW photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant in Volcan de las Tres Virgenes, Mulege municipality, in the northwestern state of Baja California.
Calderon said the plant will serve as an experimental model for its owner, the state-owned electric utility Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), in its target to develop renewable energy projects. The pilot facility, which has 4,000 PV panels, is a large-scale solar power plant which Calderon touted as the region's first.
The construction was awarded to local Microm SA, owned by Grupo Condumex, to which the Spanish photovoltaic (PV) cell and module maker Isofoton SA has supplied 4,172 modules of the ISF-240 type.
Initially, the plant's cost was estimated at USD 6.4 million (EUR 4.9m), but at the inauguration ceremony investments of some USD 8.5 million were announced.

Seguin Storage owner Timothy Oglesby utilized a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to help with the photovoltaic array (solar panels) to reduce the cost of operating his storage facility in Seguin, Texas, on March 24, 2020. This is the first phase of the complex that will have additional storage buildings with plans to install arrays on each.
Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) was used FY 2017 for a grant amount of $18,729.75 toward the
30.7 kW Solar Photovoltaic system placed on the roof of a new climate-controlled storage facility. The solar array produces an average of 44,193 kWh annually. Based on an average price of $0.089 per kWh the small business grantee should save $3,933.17 per year. The grant was 25% of the total eligible project costs ($74,919) for a total of $18,729.75. The return on investment for this project is 19 years.
