Photovoltaic generation is being accomplished through central plants on a large solar farm scale in the southwestern United States. These plants are averaging about 430 MW and serve an average of 155,000 homes while displacing nearly 320,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. This equates to removing nearly 90,000 cars from the road annually. The solar farms require considerable space, between five to ten square miles. Costs vary from $3 million to $4.5 million per megawatt. Examples are shown in Table 11.3.Table 11.3Some large solar farms and their MW capacity and impacts in the United States
