A massive solar farm of two million panels in the Mojave Desert is heading for dormancy just 11 years after going into operation. The Ivanpah installation was once the largest project of its kind in the world, but its future is bleak.

All solar thermal power systems have solar energy collectors with two main components: reflectors (mirrors) that capture and focus sunlight onto a receiver. In most types of systems, a heat-transfer fluid is heated and circulated in the receiver and used to produce steam.

The global weighted average levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for utility-scale solar photovoltaics has declined by 87% since 2010, reaching $0. For a typical 1MW solar farm, total installation costs typically range from $800,000 to $1,360,000 .
