What used to be a good view of the mountains, not so much now...
Solar farm? How big, and what's the nominal output?

I guess we can figure that you were driving more-or-less SSW.

Not sure on the exact details. They are supplying power to the big city; they've been crying for "clean" energy, but don't want to look at it. So they put that crap in my backyard.

I was driving North West...

CF for solar isn't great in PA, just like it isn't great here in Ontario. That huge thing isn't producing much "clean energy".

This the farm?

Looks like the total project will be 500 acres, spread across three sites, with a total capacity of 70MW, lol. The one in the picture is 17.5MW. They appear to expect a CF of ~16% based on the below article:

So that farm generates the equivalent of a 2.8MW thermal plant over the course of a year or 24.5GWh.

That one is about 30 miles from here. This one is outside of Mercersburg, PA along RT16.
