Ketura Sun is Israel’s first commercial solar field. Built in early 2011 by Arava Power Company on Kibbutz Ketura. Ketura Sun covers 20 acres (8.09 hectares) and is expected to produce green energy amounting to 4.95 megawatts. The field consists of 18,500 photovoltaic panels{{update inline|date=April 2014|reason=According to source "globes-barkat", there are 28,200 panels as of April 2014, but it's unclear how to solve this contradiction}} made by Suntech, which will produce about nine million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year.[1] In the next twenty years, the field will spare the production of some 125,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide.[2] The field is connected to Israel’s national power grid and sends electricity to the 33,000 volt line to kibbutzim in the area. Ketura Sun features the world's first fully automated solar panel cleaning system.[3] Pe'ahWithin the Torah’s rules for Tzedakah (charitable giving), is the uniquely Jewish law of Pe'ah. Pe'ah requires that the four corners of any field be left untouched by harvesters and saved for the poor to glean.[4] Arava Power Company maintains this principle of Pe'ah, and the four corners of the Ketura Sun solar field are each dedicated to four different non-profit organizations that will benefit from the funds earned by each corner until 2021.[5] The four organizations chosen by Arava Power are:
Statue of RuthArava Power’s commitment to the law of Pe’ah has been made permanent with the placement of a statue of Ruth created by Kibbutz Ketura artist, Gil Aruch, at the entrance to the field. The biblical story of Ruth is one of tolerance, social-religious acceptance and justice. The Royal Tribe of Judah accepts Ruth the Moabite, the convert who comes from a foreign culture and enemy land. Meridian TrackThe Meridian Track is a trail of sundials in which each sundial represents a socio-cultural value. These values are prominent in the three main monotheistic religions (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism), and in other religions and cultures worldwide. On these sundials it is possible to view the time of day according to the sunlight by inserting a finger at the center of the dial and tilting it approximately 50 ˚ to the north. ‘Meridians’ are one of the names for the bars that cast a shadow on the sundial, an idea that originates from the location of the meridian arc (an imaginary line that stretches across the globe from the North Pole to the South Pole). Meridians are also an extensive network of cross-channels of life energy in the human body. Danny Lavie, the same artist who developed the Solar Canvas, also developed the sundials for Arava Power Company. The values Arava Power Company has chosen to feature on these unique sundials created are: Peace, Respect, Sustainability, Choosing life, Redemption, Responsibility, Diversity, Love, Amity, Leadership, Sensitivity, Mindfulness, Listening and Vision.[9] Impact on regionSolar energy plays an important role in both regional and national economic development. In the Hevel Eilot region, where Ketura Sun is situated, only 4,000 people live on 13% of Israel’s land.[10] The construction of solar fields creates jobs (by some estimates 100 jobs per megawatt) and gives incentives to individuals and families to move to the area – thereby helping to fulfill another of Ben-Gurion’s dreams of populating the Negev.
