Utility-scale Solar

摘要

Not so long ago the most prevalent form of solar power was the big, clunky looking rooftop panels that heated enough water during the course of a sunny day to wash a sinkful of dinner dishes maybe. Not anymore. Utility-scale solar is catching on fast, in part to meet renewable portfolio standards in two-thirds of the states and in part to take advantage of market conditions that put buyers in the driver's seat in some markets. The idea of incorporating a solar field with a natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant is gaining momentum, Tom Fair, NV Energy's renewable energy executive, says. When you have direct normal insulation it's a pretty interesting resource.
