At the time of commissioning in 2003, the 500 kW Chevron Solarmine solar photovoltaic (PV) system was the world's largest thin-film amorphous silicon solar PV system and one of the largest solar PV systems in the United States.[1] Located at the Midway-Sunset Oil Field, Solarmine was the first solar PV system in California to power oil field operations.[1]
