Desert Sunlight, Another 550MW Solar Farm From First Solar, Now Fully Operational

Yet another half-gigawatt solar power project is coming on-line in California.

 
Late last year, the 550-megawatt capacity Topaz Solar project achieved full commercial operation and claimed the title of largest solar plant on-line in the world.
 
And now Topaz has to share the crown with First Solar’s 550-megawatt Desert Sunlight project in Riverside, Calif., which went all-on this month, according to the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) website.
