It says it covers an area of 56 square kilometers. But, it's not laid out as a square, large amounts of that area are empty.

Also: "The Bhadla Solar Park has faced some challenges due to its location and scale. One of the main challenges has been dust accumulation on the solar panels, which reduces their efficiency and output. The park is also located in an arid region that experiences frequent dust storms and sandstorms."
