As of September 2010, the plant was the largest photovoltaic (PV) solar power generation facility in the world, putting out 97 MW.
"It makes a lot of sense to deploy solar-based electricity generation facilities here".
In addition, the city leads the state in rooftop solar generation with some 20,000 homes generating solar power.
A fuel-based power generation facility can spin up when the grid needs the power on-demand; solar and wind generate when nature makes it possible to do so, and the schedules don't necessary line up with human use.
Although it would be a major investment, the price of industrial solar generation continues to drop quickly, and because Mexican solar power is cheaper to build and maintain than comparable facilities north of the border, international investors would have strong incentives.
The system combines solar generation, energy control and storage.
This type of incentive is most common for solar generation.
This means solar generation may rise even if Germany's new government cuts subsidies to renewables.
British politicians have already trimmed subsidies for solar generation, as have other European governments.
But the middle of the day is when solar generation is strongest.
