94. On a national scale? No one has ever built anything nearly that large, ever.
Even 92 square miles, as opposed to 92 miles square, is completely beyond the realm of engineering and practicality, assuming that you could find a way to transmit the power to the rest of the country in the first place from places where solar energy is actually collectable.

The scale is absurd.
