Crimea is not a country

Should be incorporated under Russian Federation, not as an independent.

Power generation in the table is misleading

Power generation sounds like an empirical value, which it is for the US sites, however, for the French site (Cestas) for example it is design output not real world data.

Not sure that best solution is, perhaps make two columns. 1. Design output 2. Power generation

Time to trim list again?

It may be time to change this list to over 500MW instead of 300MW. That would still leave over 40 entries. And I believe we are missing some plants around 500-800MW so likely longer. Rmhermen (talk) 03:37, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did it. Some close to the cutoff might be restore if their MW (DC) are above 500 MW. Need to check:

Roadrunner Solar Project us
Mula Photovoltaic Power Plant spain
Daggett Solar United States
CEME1 Chile
Travers Solar Project Canada
Permian Energy Center United States
Texas Solar Nova United States

I think the list should be able to hold about 100 entries. This trimmed too many projects and 400 would be a better cutoff for now, which allows for inclusion of diverse locations. The 65 entries isn't unmanageable. Reywas92^Talk 13:50, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I managed to find 5 missed plants over 500MW in a single day. The list isn't being maintained well enough. Rmhermen (talk) 16:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't think there's a need to then delete information yet. As more are added we can trim more at the bottom. Reywas92^Talk 19:35, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong data for Talatan Solar Park

The data for Talatan Solar Park is impossible. A 15.6 GW plant is said to produce 1,000,000 GWh, which would require 64,102 hours per year. Sadly, there are only 8760 hours per year. 2601:400:8001:F610:3E87:8112:4E9A:4CE9 (talk) 12:58, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
