There is a solar farm south of Las Vegas which is in Sector 6 and Sector 37's airspace.  Daily; during the late morning and early afternoon hours we get complaints from pilots of aircraft flying from the northeast to the southwest about the brightness of this solar farm. They usually ask us what it is because they don't know. On this particular morning; an air carrier complained about the brightness and reiterated that it was 'nearly blinding.'  I reported this to Management and was told that they were going to do nothing about it. They then suggested that I tell the pilot to report it through the safety reporting system that they have and to report it myself. I have no idea what can be done about this situation; but being a passenger on an aircraft that flew through this airspace and saw it for myself; I would say that something needs to be done. It is extremely bright and distracting.
ZLA Controller relayed concerns expressed by flight crews overflying a solar farm south of LAS. Flight crews have noted the facility causes nearly blinding reflection.
