XPost: Victor Valley College to unveil high-efficiency solar project

[n2doc]

Victor Valley College's new 1-megawatt plant uses technology known as concentrator photovoltaics. The $4.5-million facility will be the largest of its kind in North America.

Imagine if every school and business had these powering their buildings.....

1. I don't think most schools and business have the six acres...

to put the 122 arrays to make it work.

2. How about 1 array? That's what I'm discussing n/t

3. Then it wouldn't work.

The idea behind this system is that it's a big series of mirrors that concentrate sunlight onto one specific spot.

You could have just one regular solar panel. But that's not as efficient.

4. You are being deliberately obtuse n/t

5. I'm thinking the same thing about you.

concentrator solar systems require a lot of space and would work in big solar power plant operations. Not for smaller operations.
