This is a pretty amazing project because of its sheer size. I'm wondering what effect dropping down that many solar panels and covering that much acreage will have on the local ecosystems and weather? Also, what the maintenance issues will be and how they will hold up long term to wind and sand blasting. I'm guessing they will drop it in the desert which covers most of the interior of the continent.
I also wonder what the carbon footprint is for the manufacture of all those solar panels? That has to be pretty significant. Also, how much will it cost and how long before it starts to turn a profit? What price do they need to get for the Green Hydrogen they produce?
Pretty impressive though.

This plant will have 25 million solar panels and 3,000 turbines: It will produce almost unknown energy
