Abstract: California Ivanpah Solar Power System is the world's largest solar power plant, but according to the British report, the power plant environment was exposed after the National Energy Administration exposed photos of birds flying over the power plant. The controversy is continuing to heat up.

California Ivana Solar Power System

The Ivanpah Solar Power Station is the world's largest solar power station in the Mojave Desert at the junction of California and Nevada. The solar farm is a new energy project involving BrightSource Energy, NRG Energy and Google Inc., covering an area of ​​approximately 14.2 square kilometers, of which more than 173,000 solar panels can generate 392 MW (MW). It accounts for 30% of the total solar power generation in the United States and can meet the demand for nearby 140,000 US household electricity. Although it is a new energy source that is friendly to the environment, the animals have suffered.

The power station was recently opened, but then the staff found that birds flying over the power station were burned. The solar heat flux on the tested solar panels reached 537 degrees Celsius. Dozens of birds that have been burned and burned, as well as some other wild animals, have been found.
