It seems to me that there was a lot of money put out by the Biden gang from their Inflation Reduction Act. This could be the source of the money because most private enterprises would not evaluate this as a profitable enterprise without a free source of money to put into it. After all, PV are a very variable source of power without huge battery resources to balance the loads.

But the main customers are Las Vegas strip casinos.

That is interesting because the strip casinos need the most electricity at night, when the PV panels aren’t collecting energy. Unless they have one whopping huge set of batteries, the energy will go into the system only durning the day. It is not a good investment by the casinos, therefore, the state must be footing the bill for the project.
