The Solar Demonstration Project would generate approximately 500 kW of electricity through the use of ground-mounted photovoltaic solar arrays. Solar PV panels would be installed in rows on an aluminum framework that would be attached to one of three types of foundations, two with concrete block ballasts and one with pile driven piers. The project would assist the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in meeting its renewable energy portfolio standards while determining the feasibility of additional solar facilities on Owens Lake.
