The 500 dual-axis CPV Amonix 7700 tracker assemblies cover a 225-acre plot. Each tracker is 70 feet (21 meters) wide and 50 feet (15 meters) tall. Each has 7,560 Fresnel lenses that concentrate sunlight by a multiple of 500 onto multijunction gallium arsenide photovoltaic cells.Locations:Colorado-North America-United States of AmericaDate:7 Jun, 2013Credit:© Greenpeace / Robert MeyersMaximum size:5270px X 3181pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Clouds-Day-Energy infrastructures-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Renewable energy-Solar energy-Solar panels-Solar power stations-SummerShoot:Solar Power Stations in ColoradoDocumentation of solar power stations in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado.
