It's really good what you are doing, so I'll give you a thumbs up. USA has a lot of space. In front of my village (Thuringia / East Germany) a 2.2 MW solar park was built 2 years ago on a demolished industrial area. Greetings from Germany
Beautiful presentation BHE Topaz team on creating a clean energy facility. The economic impact created by Topaz was wide and deep for SLO County businesses, working families and agencies. Thank you BHE Renewables for your investment in our region.
Solar power spacecraft will help us live in space and dump water of on outher planets one day that's kind of why its important everybody should be using solar energy on earth.
Porque é que não falam do impacto ambiental negativo que comporta!! Estão a substituir floresta, sobreiros, azinheiras e pinheiro manso por centrais fotovoltaicas!! Para não falar de área agrícola perdida, da erosão dos solos e impacto visual!!!
How many MT of steel and Al? About 1.23 GW of advanced nuclear (AHTR) requires about 20,000 MT of all metals (and about 52,000 M^3 of concrete). So, I'm wondering how much was used here? Nevertheless, really awesome achievement, seeing that it looks kinda enviro sensitive (like piles, instead of total grading).
It costs about 1M$ per 1MW of installed capacity. (Total without maintance is very coming years). 1MW is usually a peak power during summer at optimal sun angle at good weather. So you generate about 24*365*1MWh=8770MWh of electricity if it would be running at peak 24/7. Considering various factors (including clouds, seasons, and less than half of a day for sun) you'll really get 20-25% of that, so let's say 1750MWh per year, at utility level it probably costs about 0.06$ per kWh, so the 1MW plant will bring 1750000*0.06$=105000$ per year. So it should be about 9-10 years. Including maintance, workers, maybe 11-12 years. A lot is cheaper for bigger farms. They usually are designed to operate for 25 years. The price 0.06$/kWh also varies by place. End users in some parts of the world see prices likes 0.14$ or in my country 0.21$.
@@rajarampatel601 yes they will still produce after 25 years. But at about 75-80% power output of new ones. They will still produce when they are 50 years, but probably at half power. But realistically they will be replaced when they are 30 years. Usually return of investment for such installations is about 15-20 years depending on a region. 10 years in the best case (good sun, good weather, cheaper components and labor to build and maintain).
@@rajarampatel601 It is still money earned. If the expected live is 25 years (and probably extended to 30 or 35 years, unless it would be better to rebuild it using better technology, which is unlikely), and the investment returns in 10 years, then you have 15 years of essentially pure profit. Yes, you invest 500 mln $ in, but in 10 years you got 525 mln back, 1050 mln$ om 20 years, and 1310 mln$ in 25 years. So that is pretty good investment (2.6x in 25 years, so equivalent to 4% compound per year, or 10% annualized ROI). The investment will be paid bank to bank and financial investors (with profit) in about 15 years, and the next few years would be mostly money to the developer probably. The people putting the money in aren't stupid, and do a lot of planning and calculations, and include dozens of factors (including inflation, lifespan, maintenance, taxes, various other market projections, etc) into planning. My calculations are probably way off, because I did read various articles about solar farms in US, and depending on state annualized ROI is about 5-12%, which means a pay back in about 6-10 years, highly depended on state. And expected life of 30 years. 5-12% annualized ROI is above average (4-5% annualized ROI) of other types of investment across all types of markets (not just energy sector).
What we going to eat sunlight .Always thought you grow food on land,Guess the animals can find some where else to live as well .Maybe in the corner behind all the buildings.
You will see in the background that the was neither forested nor productive farmland. It is low producing, dry animal grazing land and is an ideal location for solar.
Mr Takaphan jaruhungsin agency.gov overseas in Thailand llc and wealth public affairs federal contract and membership of community international ,I am greatful for my concept idea base systems to be useful ,and growing up! In the larg of country of my friendship, I am holp for my friendship saved fot the cost of production power more and more, and saved for use the oil ,it was be empty soon, and safety from the co2 , co gas ,and clean air good ,and best! Goodluck for everyone!
Made me sick! Need solar power go to Jail! That’s why Farm will go lose of area! More money made people go poor. Solar power will broken and junk soon no one to fix! 🖕🖕🖕🖕🤬🤬😡😡

I love this
I really enjoyed this video... i will be contacting you guys soon to do business. One Love.
It is great that they are using the animals to graze the weeds, rather than spraying with herbicides!
There are 3 man in charge of the goats, and 12 man washing the panels around the clock.
What sort of drone did you use to film this video?
awesome solar farm
Yeah keep building solar energy.
Wow, awesome.. That is gigantic farm..
5 goats is not exactly gigantic...
Fun to watch.
I do not miss this job
Solar power spacecraft will help us live in space and dump water of on outher planets one day that's kind of why its important everybody should be using solar energy on earth.
muito bom
Can this withstand hurricanes or tornados?
Or barbers? Are you living in a some hut above Woodside?

not positive but a 127KW solar garden used 20k lbs of rebar and 50k lbs of structural steel for what it's worth.
Do decent shirts?
How long the panele will have to work to create energy needed to build them? Including all activities, roads, digging, etc

But we are sucking up all the SUN? What will happen to the Plants?
Are you serios?...
😂🤣😂🤣
The ones that aren't eaten by the goats die from lack of sunlight :)
Sowas fehlt in Deutschland schade das sich Die Unternehmen zurück gezogenen haben die Module erstellten.
Tobi lüdke Die sind leider pleite gegangen wegen den billigen Zellen aus China

while i like solar power, im not to keen on the amount of space taken up per MW. too many solar farms could cause deforestation.
