Utility-scale solar plants in desert climates
There are some clear benefits to locating solar plants in desert climates for project developers to consider. High solar irradiance. Irradiance measures the total power density of sunlight that falls on an area. The higher the level of irradiance, the higher the output current, and in turn the more power that is generated. Ample space.
