White House
Did you know that President Obama is NOT the first U.S. President to install solar panels on the roof of the White House. President Carter also had solar panels installed on the White House and a few years later President Reagan had them removed.
Out On Mars
There are rovers on Mars that have solar panels on them. They were estimated to last three months but three years later, they are still working perfectly.
The Autobahn
Germany's Autobahn is covered with thousands of solar panels. These panels take in sun light for hours a day and since there are so many panels, the amount of solar power they create is massive.
Kramer's Junction
Kramer Junction is located in San Bernardio County, California. Kramer's Junction is a 40 mile, 250 megawatt solar power plamt owned by the Kramer Junction Company. In total, the facilities can generate about 354 megawatts at peak output, comprising most of the commercial solar power currently produced worldwide. The facilities regulate their power supply through the use of supplemental natural gas-fueled electric generating plants.
