It seems this field was not PV, it was actually mirrors aiming solar radiation to boil water and drive steam turbines.
I'm not familiar with that technology, but seemingly less proven than PV.
This seems to be as much a story of an unsuccessful science project, as an upended renewables project.

It is the one that I am think of and have seen which is west of I15 just inside California. It is a unique and distinctive setup to see. I don't know if this is failed technology because if I'm not mistaken this is modeled after project built in Spain a long time ago which, if I'm not mistaken, are working pretty well.
