The commercial operation of the largest solar project in California has started with the help of partnership between First Solar Inc. and NRG Energy Inc.. Moreover, New York is also all set to undertake its largest solar project.

The 21-megawatt (MW) power plant in Blythe, Calif., was built by First Solar, and was acquired by NRG last month, through its subsidiary NRG Solar.

According to First Solar, the electricity generated by the solar facility will be sold to Southern California Edison (SCE), under a 20-year power purchase agreement.

The Blythe plant is said to be the largest project in the United States, using thin-film PV and is also five times the size of the next largest PV project in California.
