Armando Said:

solar power plant, is it possible?

We Answered:

It is because, as of now, the cost of a reliable (i.e. available year round, 24/7) kilowatt-hour is more expensive coming from solar powerplant than from thermal or hydro power.
If you need power during night, during winter (when the sun is low, thus giving less energy, and often hidden by clouds) you need humongous banks of batteries that were recharged during summer months if you only rely on solar.
That is costly. Very costly.
