East Sun Power Gen. Co.-24MW, 0.7Mil m2 , US 200Mil.

1 Nuclear Power Plant => 1GW = 1000MW

24MW x 40 approx. 1000MW

Capacity : to be equivalent to 1 Nuclear Power Plant (x 40 times)-> 28 Mil m2 , US 8,000 Mil. (US 8 Bil.)

Power Generation: to be equivalent to 1 Nuclear Power Plant (x 5 times)

(with capacity factor of 20%, tracking device) -> 140 Mil. m2 , US 40 Bil.

** Still we don’t get power during the night, rainy days,…
