US’ largest Solar Photovoltaic System in Nevada

Sure, we’ve seen the Solar Taxi in action, today we will showcase the Solar Photovoltaic System in Nevada. A massive 80-megawatt project in neighboring California. Nevertheless, this system — which is housed at the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada — will reportedly generate “30 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually and supply approximately 25-percent of the total power used at the base, where 12,000 people live and work.”
