Please can anyone help me with information on how I can download the file of coordinates of locations for photovoltaic power stations used in https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://toolserver.org/~para/cgi-bin/kmlexport... https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://toolserver.org/%7Epara/cgi-bin/kmlexport%3Farticle%3DList_of_photovoltaic_power_stations%26usecache%3D1. I really need it urgently for a research work.

download the KML file using the URL you gave above: http://toolserver.org/~para/cgi-bin/kmlexport?article=List_of_photovoltaic_p...
in the file the lines with "coordinates" are what you're looking for. Use only lat/lon. I think the last number is height information <coordinates>-113.49,32.9533333333333,0</coordinates>
you might also want to check OSM data. You can run queries using overpass-turbo.eu
