20 Biggest Solar Projects in Portugal
The Serpa solar power plant is an 11 megawatt plant covered 150 acres (0.61 km ) and employs 52,000 PV panels. The panels are raised 2 meters off the ground thus allowing grazing to continue. The plant provides enough energy for 8,000 homes and saves an estimated 30,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
