At 250 miles long, 3 miles wide, and currently generating 5.4 gigawatts, the Kubuqi Desert solar array will be the world’s largest by a country mile when finished in 2030.

I wonder how they built it, if they used slaves or indentured workers?

It hasn't been built yet. I think it would be difficult to have slaves do skilled electrical work.
