  3. Ivanpah Solar Power Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility

    The local irradiance near the area is about 7.4 kWh/m 2 /day [49] [50] (annual average) for a total solar energy flow in the visible spectrum of 2.717 MWh/m 2 yearly. One heliostat mirror is a 75.6 square feet (7.02 m 2) reflecting surface, [51] giving a total of 151.2 square feet (14.05 m 2) per heliostat.
