Daystar 1
The Daystar 1 Solar Facility located at the Desert Research Institute
(755 East Flamingo Road, Las Vegas), has a rated output of 16,000 watts (16kW).
The array produces about 28,000kWh of power per year, which is roughly enough
power for three average size homes for a year. Daystar 1 was the first solar facility
built for use by the GreenPower program. This flat panel photovoltaic system
is ground mounted and fixed facing almost due south to take best advantage of
the many sunny days in Las Vegas.
