On Thursday, April 18, 2019 the Nevada Chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) will host a field trip to the Ivanpah Solar Thermal Facility located on the NV/CA border along I-15.

This one of a kind tour will show you the behind the scenes picture of operating the largest concentrated solar energy system in the world. This tour will be led by the site Technical Services Manager and will make you think of solar energy in a whole new way.
