SolarCaliforniaUnited States of America
Enerparc CA2 LLC is a 2 MW solar power plant in California, United States of America. It is operated by Enerparc Inc.. Based on reported annual generation of 4 GWh, it can supply roughly 1,000 homes. It ranks #8695 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2016, it is around 10 years old — relatively modern. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, solar supplies about 8.6% of United States of America's electricity; the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This solar plant converts sunlight directly into electricity with photovoltaic panels. It sits in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 39.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 45% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 31/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
Solar PV loses ~0.35%/°C above 25°C cell temperature — roughly 0.0% at warm-season highs here (estimate).

Plants like this lose energy through hot turbines, heat exchangers, valves and steam lines. Inzonex makes removable, reusable turbine & heat-exchanger insulation that cuts that loss by up to 90% and holds surface temperatures under 45°C, unclipping in seconds for maintenance.
