  • Aerial of Solar Facility in Borrego Springs, California uses both photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. What makes their operation unique is that they use 3 acre round ponds to float their solar arrays on. The ponds act as a water bearing tk (frictionless) so that it requires very little energy to have the whole surface of the pond rotate to face the sun as it moves east to west. A series of small motors tilt the individual rows of the arrays to track the sun vertically as well. They use hot water from one type of array to run a huge still, which produces alcohol from molasses. So far there are 18 ponds. (1985).

  • Solar energy electrical generating power plant in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, California. Solar One consists of a circular arrangement of 1, 818 mirrors, each measuring 23x23 feet (7x7 meters). These mirrors focus the sunlight onto a huge central receiver, which sits atop a 300-foot (91 meter) tower. The mirrors are computer controlled to track the path of the sun. Water is pumped through the receiver and heated to a temperature of 960 degrees Fahrenheit. The resultant steam runs a turbine, producing 10 megawatts of power for eight hours a day. (1985).

  • Solar energy: Solar Plant 1. Warner Springs, California. Solar Plant 1 was the largest privately funded solar powered electrical generator in the world when it was built in 1984. Built by LaJet Energy Company of Abilene, Texas , SolarPlant 1 is a five megawatt distributed receiver facility. There is no central tower to soak up sunlight reflected from a broad field of glass mirrors. Instead, each of the 700 concentrators--consisting of 24 plastic mirrors kept in shape by a vacuum pump- reflects sunlight into its own receiver. Water is pumped through the receiver, which turns to steam to drive a turbine to produce electricity. (1987).
