The Desert Green Solar Farm is a 8.8 MWp (6.3 MWAC) concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) power station in Borrego Springs, California. [1] [2] It was built by Blattner Energy using 299 dual-axis CX-S530 systems, each of which contains 12 CX-M500 modules. [3] Each module contains 2,400 Fresnel lenses to concentrate sunlight 500 times onto multi-junction solar cells, allowing a greater efficiency than other photovoltaic power plants. [4] The output is being sold to San Diego Gas & Electric under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement. [5][6]
