China to Have Largest Solar Plant on Planet

China will soon have the planet's largest photovoltaic power plant that will power as many as 3 million homes with 2000MW of solar electricity. Interestingly enough, Government officials put the US company First Solar in charge and they will probably build a factory there to complete the project. The $6 billion plan is to be built in the Mongolian desert, will begin in June 2010 and should be completed by 2019.
