It would be interesting to see how they store the electricity for night-time operation.
Or are they strictly a daytime operation?

Friends,
India has reportedly the world's first fully solar powered airport at Cochin Capacity 1.1 MW The link:

 I didn't look for that article - so I don't know the specifics or if they require concentration but....

Don't worry - at even double the current solar cell efficiency (current practical max 10% or 20% with concentration) they would/could never put up enough sq miles of solar panels to even replace current usage - I ran the numbers.

Amazing since PEAK solar "impact" on my roof calculates to nearly 1/2 megawatt!!
