The biggest solar power plant in the country will be built in Sacramento, CA according to the Sacramento Press.  The Spanish company, Otrus Producciones de Energia Fotovolaico (OPDE) will build a 20 megawatt AC installation with 26,800 solar panels on single axis trackers.  The next largest plant in the country is a 14-megawatt plant at Nellis Airforce base in Nevada.

According to the Sacramento Press, one of the biggest factors in the company’s decision to build the plant in Sacramento was the city’s “minimal” business tax, which will save the company at least several million dollars a year said Greg Brehm, director of distributed renewable energy resources of OPDE U.S.
