Over the last 20 years, California has been home to a number of the world's largest solar facilities, many of which are located in the Mojave Desert.In 1991, the 354 MW Solar Energy Generating Systems plant (located in San Bernardino County, California) held the title until being bested by the 392 MW Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, a solar thermal plant located in San Bernardino ...
The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility served as inspiration for the HELIOS One solar power plant's physical appearance in the 2010 videogame Fallout: New Vegas. [87] The facility inspired American rock band The Fray to name their 2014 album Helios. The album art is an aerial photograph of the plant, which also features in the lyric video for Love ...

The Mojave Solar Project (MSP) is a concentrated solar power (CSP) facility in the Mojave Desert in California, about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Barstow. Surrounding the hamlet of Lockhart, Mojave Solar is adjacent to Harper Lake and the SEGS VIII–IX solar plant. The site was originally reserved for the planned, never built, SEGS IX and XII.

Desert Stateline Solar Facility is a 300 MW p (about 250 MW AC) utility-scale [1] solar photovoltaic power station constructed by First Solar in San Bernardino County in California, USA. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada , and adjacent to the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility .
The project began construction in 2011, and began operation in 2012 with 22 MW completed. It was fully completed in October 2013. [4] At the time it was completed, "the California Valley Solar Ranch will power about 100,000 homes and will be one of the largest photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants in the world".
Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) is a concentrated solar power plant in California, United States.With the combined capacity from three separate locations at 354 megawatt (MW), it was for thirty years the world's largest solar thermal energy generating facility, until the commissioning of the even larger Ivanpah facility in 2014.
