Q&A: How much land would a solar powered power station supplying energy to a small city take up?

Best answer:

Answer by panurge2
It would depend on the size of the town, and the amount of usable sunlight available. There are systems that focus the sun’s energy at a tower that turns the heat into steam to turn generators. A system like that takes up a lot less space than silicon solar cells do. Combined with wind power, it could be easily done.
