There was an article
http://www.wsj.com/articles/high-tech-solar-projects-fail-to-deliver-1434138485
a coupla days ago about some huge project in Kollyfawnya, solar thermal
set-up, that is only producing 40% of the design output due to
unforeseen issues.
" The $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar power project in California’s Mojave
Desert is supposed to be generating more than a million megawatt-hours
of electricity each year. But 15 months after starting up, the plant is
producing just 40% of that, according to data from the U.S. Energy
Department."
Seems like a $2.2B 60% failure was not a very good "investment." Maybe
could have started off a bit smaller and only pissed away a bil or two?
But it's only gummint money, so who's counting...

Well, let's see. 5 square meters per kW, so about 25,000 square meters
for 5 MW.
Around 4000 square meters per acre, looks like you could easily fit
5MW on ten acres. I wonder if you could get-r-done for $15 million?
