The world's largest solar farm is planned for Kumbh in Gujarat, India. The farm, which will be built with funding from the Clinton Foundation, will produce 5 gigawatts of electricity
The green revolution is not usually heard from India, but this time the country is surprisingReporting of the Indian newspaper Business-Standard in which it was said that Clinton Foundation Considering financing a project to build the largest solar farm in the world.
According to the plan, a "solar city" will be built that will generate 5 gigawatts of electricity during the operating period. For comparison, one of the largest solar farms in Europe is located in Portugal - in the most favorable European region in terms of solar radiation - the farm will be put into use during the year and is planned to be used by 30,000 European households. The Portuguese farm will produce 45 megawatts of electricity, 111 times less than the planned farm in India.
The Americans built the world's largest farm in the Mojave Desert in California, the solar farm has a capacity of 900 megawatts during the operating period, five times less than the planned farm in India. At the same time, a corporation Solar Electric Ecosystems announced his intention to build a new solar farm within 6 years that will produce 10 gigawatts of electricity, enough for 10 million American homes. Beyond the large capacity of the Indian farm, the expectation is that the new farm will serve a larger population since the electricity consumption of an Indian household is significantly lower than an American or European household.
The Clinton Foundation, supported by companies such as Microsoft and GE Energy, has raised over 12 billion dollars which it designates to invest in green energy projects. In addition to Gujarat, the foundation is in talks with Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.

To me it actually seems like supernatural stupidity
Response 21 is not an example of artificial intelligence but of natural stupidity.
You have to admit that the wonders of nature are really sublime 🙂
Larry,
Photovoltaic cell collectors are shown in the photo.
Will the solar city that will be built in India make use of such cells or will they use mirror technology?
Michael is an innovative development and a breakthrough of royal wisdom
A computer program that simulates royal intelligence
The software itself responds to messages in the forums
When the responses are based on information that the software receives from the Internet
I know that Michael is a tick and his comments are pointless
There are a lot of bugs right now we are aware of it.
But admit it, until now no one realized that it was a computer program.
We are currently working on another prototype of a female character with the addition of a royal emotion
which is much more complicated.
We will release more information soon…….
In my eyes too.
And by the way, repair of a monkey reading a clock, now it's a good evening.
Hahaha! @# I don't want to insult you, but the picture I have shows an orangutan..

I like this picture because it looks like the thinking monkey and reminds me a bit of the Mona Lisa too. But beyond that, I like the implication that whoever sits beyond TCP/IP can also be an intelligent monkey
Good day, and good luck to Israel Bar-On!
And here is the company that is bringing back some solar sanity to this site.
By the way, cool, I have some sort of magnetism, APS, every time I see your picture on the site
For a moment it seems to me..that this is me there in the mirror..the virtual one.
Every time you explain something my hands start describing the procedures and solutions you are
brings here
And Michael, you don't have to, you're fine.
Well, that was the corner of: the required flattery.
Haha Michael.. I already thought you were trying to imply that your IQ is roughly the same as your psychometric 8)
Lafi, you forgot to add that on a large scale (as you said) a solar tower station with a collection of mirrors is a much, much, much cheaper solution than photovoltaic panels.
Solar energy on a large scale is not produced using solar cells!!!
It is produced by a large number of small mirrors that focus the sunlight in a focus where there are pipes inside which a liquid flows. The liquid heats up to a high temperature similar to what happens
in a solar heater found in every house in the country, and turns into hot steam that runs an electric turbine.
There is no pollution in this process, and on the same land area, much higher energy is obtained from electric solar cells, which have a very low efficiency.
age:
An idiot is defined as a person whose IQ is lower than 20
According to this definition, I include more than 8 idiots.
That's why I intend to invest in solar energy
Those looking for a good long-term investment will buy oil
An idiot would invest his money in solar energy
Error:
Omariko gave you an excellent answer.
Let's expand it a bit and also refer to the things that were said later:
Do you think all the photovoltaic cells that will be created will be produced using fossil energy?
What do you think about the possibility that a factory that creates photovoltaic cells will be powered by solar energy itself?
When you talk about a utilization of 10%, beyond the fact that you are not precise in percentages (it's all a matter of price, but there are also cells that give over 40%), it is about 10% of the energy that harms the voltaic cell and if it had not been placed there - beyond the fact that, as Omariko said, it would have been partly warming the earth, the other part would just simply be wasted.
The idea of the impact on the climate is simply baseless.
Everything we do affects more so maybe we stop doing things? What do you think about the fact that it is precisely here that the influence on the climate works in the desired direction?
As for nuclear energy - what do I say and what will I say - all the scientists and governments are idiots and only a few of the science commentators know the truth.
After all, nuclear energy - no matter how you spin it - is dangerous in the long term and in the meantime there is no reasonable solution for storing the waste generated during its production.
Assaf Azoulai talks about a radius of "only" 100 km.
If this is true then when a malfunction occurs "only" the State of Israel will be destroyed.
The State of Israel also recognized the advantage of solar energy and as a result drafted the Electricity Law which encourages every citizen to generate electricity at home.
I am preparing to take advantage of this and produce the electricity using solar energy, but those of you who prefer to do it using nuclear energy are welcome.
I figure I'll recoup the investment while it's about a thousand times shorter.
And I say, in Israel there are two integrated solutions that together will solve both the water shortage problem, both the electricity/energy problem and the problem of the drop in the level of the Dead Sea and the Kinneret.
The solution is to build a chimney [http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3451499,00.html] in the Negev that can generate electricity and desalinate water.
It will receive the water that will be used for it, of course, from the Dead Sea Canal [https://www.hayadan.org.il/red-sea-dead-sea-canal-mivnim-2811071/]
which will pass between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, will provide additional electrical and thermal power to the chimney and fill the Dead Sea.
Whatever you do, the most efficient energy is nuclear energy.
Everything else is nonsense...
Just take the area of the solar cells, and put a nuclear power plant.
Nuclear power plants to be purchased by countries, which will allocate a certain area that is demilitarized without political affiliation, and in fact, it will be possible to sell the electricity produced to all the countries in the region.
Non-polluting energy, the risk is low, because with proper maintenance (like the French) there are no breakdowns, and if there are then the casualties will only be in a 100 km radius area and those who must be close to the maintenance (a team of maybe 20-30 people)...
All the other solutions are irrelevant, because producing them costs more pollution or pollution like today...
You are all right.
Indeed the efficiency of commercial systems today are between 6%-10%. But this is a higher efficiency than the photosynthesis of any biological creature (from algae to land plants...) that we know.
Also, this efficiency is developed every day with different and new means (those who followed the articles published on the site in the last year must have been exposed to them.) So it's only a matter of time until we reach maximum efficiency.
In the context of the cost of pollution in the production of cells, indeed. Today they pollute, but as Omariko pointed out, there is always a need for a starting point.
In this respect, the "cleanest" energy is nuclear energy (both in terms of production and output...)
But nuclear energy got into a difficult place precisely because of the "environmentalists". who adopted the aspect of this energy, as a product of a nuclear weapon (in terms of the danger inherent in it (which is obviously not true/very little regarding a modern nuclear reactor), in terms of the material used for this energy. and more...).
Therefore, we should not get carried away by drawing conclusions one way or the other, and it must be remembered that the engine, and ultimately the result... is driven by economic motives. Therefore, it cannot be used as evidence of efficiency in any sense...
Wishing everyone a good day.
Moshe.
I wanted to add that if you look and observe things correctly, everyone comes out rich and spacious,
In the end, though, each cell and person has its own needs.
Think about it.
Nice, interesting project, may they succeed.
I wish, also to all those who engaged in this project in Israel, not in order to get rich from it, that their vision will be realized.
There are also such, in our country - the tiny, blessed with the sun.
Error:
unbelievable. You adopt the propaganda of those with economic interests who enjoy selling solid and liquid fuels into your bosom so easily! When you say that photovoltaic cells "barely touch the 10%" - ten percent of what? from the solar energy available in the same area. First, I'm not sure you're accurate with the numbers. Second, the usefulness of these cells is increasing, and even today there are households in Germany that enjoy a hybrid electricity system that combines solar electricity with conventional electricity, which has caused the electricity bills to drop to 0% on sunny days. Of course, in Israel there is no lack of such days.
Regarding your claim that for the production of photovoltaic cells coal must be burned, in order to supply electricity to the producing plants - this is of course the start of the process. "Decreasing for the purpose of increasing", investment. Let's assume that so and so megawatts were consumed in the above production process. After all, from the moment the production is completed, the investment keeps paying back - both from the financial point of view, but certainly from the environmental point of view as well.
And as for your last claim - my scholar friend - almost everything that man builds in one way or another prevents the sun's rays from reaching the earth and participating in the effects that affect the global climate. Starting with houses and roads, and ending with coal-fired power plants. And yet - let's try to examine the effect. According to you - energy that was supposed to reach the ground is converted into electrical energy. what is the meaning? The land in this area will warm up less than it would have if the solar power plant had not been built. Because even then there is a greenhouse effect and unceasing global warming, I don't understand how this matter seems negative to you.
Michael,
Even today, the most efficient solar cells (which are in production, not in research laboratories) barely touch 10%,
On the other hand, the amount of toxic substances (which eventually reach the groundwater) is enormous, not to mention that apart from the toxic and polluting substances that remain at the end of the production process of these solar cells, huge amounts of coal, oil and gas have to be burned in order to provide electricity for the factories that will produce all these panels .
Currently, the efficiency of the solar cells is simply not worthwhile either economically or environmentally.
And that's even before we asked ourselves how the construction of such a solar city would affect the climate. Do not forget that energy that does not reach the ground and becomes electricity does not participate in the effects that affect the local and global climate.
A person:
Reviews you read a long time ago are not relevant today.
On a comprehensive look at the situation, they were not true even when you read them.
Have you thought about the question what is the definition of "pollution"?
From an ecological point of view, pollution is something that, if we don't stop doing it voluntarily, we have to stop it out of necessity.
Therefore, burning the oil reservoirs is also a type of pollution that is added to the pollution created by transferring them to the atmosphere.
If it was financially profitable, they would have done it already.
Unlike a coal or nuclear plant, you can purchase a small solar cell.
Matan, please buy a solar cell and tell us how it was.
In addition, from reviews I read a long time ago, energy that comes from solar cells is the most polluting.
It is impossible to ignore the smallest energy output created from them and the environmental signature they leave in the creation process.
I know it's getting views from our faltering government but where are we in this story damn it we live in the middle of a desert! If there is something that is not lacking in our country, it is a lot of sun and a sea of confusion
If it were possible to turn talk into electrical energy we could import electricity to other countries
