I can't tell you the specifics,as I'm not sure that they even shared that data in the program.
If it was a coal-fired power plant equivalent-sized PV facility,then,according to Lester Brown circa 2008,this would constitute a 500-MW facility,with 72% operational capacity(operating 6,300 hours/year),producing 3.15-billion kWh/year.
Algeria had plans for a 6,000-MW solar-thermal electric power plant as of June,2007.(they have the potential for 4X total global electricity demand)
The Chinese are experimenting with all known battery technologies,hoping to single out the ideal setup,even if its frog legs and zinc plates.
