While Photovoltaic solar power generation may be better known by the average lay person than say concentrated solar power or solar thermal energy, it is not the fastest growing type of solar technology. Surprised? In fact according to a new study the future of solar energy belongs to Solar Thermal! According to iSuppli Corp, an independant [...]
SolarReserve is designing power plants using Solar Power Towers. This configuration captures and focuses the sun’s thermal energy with thousands of tracking mirrors (called heliostats) in a two square mile field. A tower resides in the center of the heliostat field. The heliostats focus concentrated sunlight on a receiver which sits on top of the tower. Within [...]
