> a 452-megawatt (MW) solar farm in West Texas [...] will generate enough electricity to power over 190,000 homes annually
452 MW nameplate * optimistic 0.3 capacity factor = 135.6 MW
8760 hours annually * 135.6 MW = 1187856 MWh
1187856 MWh / 14.112 MWh per Texas home = 84173 homes powered
190000 / 84173 = 2.257 lying factor
