A 500 kW solar site
Each panel outputs at roughly 30 V DC, then is inverted to 120 AC at a central inverter, and finally is stepped up to 34.5 kV
Wind turbines in the distance
A total of 127 Vestas V-80 turbines, rated at 1.8 MW each
The solar panels are at the top of the hill, at a distance
Each turbine is 80 meters tall
The base of a tower. Notice the number and size of the bolts
The stairs up to the base of a tower
Inside a tower near the base. Notice the ladder is attached to the tower by magnets, the communication and power cables (34.5 kV) coming up next to the ladder
A turbine blade

Dude, I'm a little jealous you got to visit a wind farm.... Sometimes wondering if I could jump the gap from Aero to EE to take advantage of all the cool energy age stuf going on right now...
