The difference is that the manufacturing process is not reliant on China’s Lithium supply chain.
A more accurate statement I could make is that manufacturing does not need to depend on the China’s Lithium supply chain. As this technology matures, domestic manufacturing of this technology will be possible.
China being first to market with a new battery technology is not surprising. The difference is that the manufacturing process is not reliant on China’s Lithium supply chain.
I have committed the sin of mixing energy with power units.
I think its 300 MWh. Phase 3 just completed. Here is the proposal from Phase 4, which is supposedly going to increase from 300MW(?) to 600MW(?). The proposal is also kinda loose with their units.
In 2024 a tornado hit a solar field. I was wondering how the industry was responding to this.
Found this article.

Some solar trackers, for example, offer dynamic stow angles that adjust based on real-time weather conditions. Whether it’s high winds or hail, these trackers can optimize stow angle to minimize damage. A key feature of these systems is their ability to vary stow angles across a site, accounting for both complex weather patterns and diverse land contours.
I cannot find details on if these are fixed or tracking panels.
Also looking at the map, it doesn’t seem like this is all one big facility, but distributed across a few miles.
300 MW of grid storage too btw.
