    Hello. Was the amount of straw 397.7 dried in the oven beforehand at a temperature of 105 or did you rely on the moisture content of 9 that you calculated at first? Thank you.

    • @energyanswersforthebeginni7295
      @energyanswersforthebeginni7295 2 роки тому

      Hi Taylor, this is a good question. It's difficult to say the average size of utility-scale solar arrays are in your area- but I can give you some US-national averages. Most utility-scale projects are between 1-5 MW projects. You need anywhere between 5-10 acres of open area for 1 MW of power generation. So, 5 acres would be on the small side, but that doesn't mean that a solar company wouldn't be interested-- these are just current national averages.
