On the edge of the Mojave Desert in Lancaster, California, hundreds of mirrors beam sunlight onto a molten-hot tower. Cameras paired with high-processing-power software control the huge field of ...
RISING proudly from the dry bed of Ivanpah Lake, these solar power towers are surrounded by glinting seas of perfectly arranged panels. They are part of the Ivanpah Solar Energy Facility in the Mojave ...
The University of South Australia (UniSA) has joined forces with Queensland-based company Impacts Renewable Energy and Charles Sturt University (CSU) to build a concentrated solar thermal (CST) plant ...
Researchers developed a solar collector with a dielectric Bragg mirror, optimizing energy conversion by separating sunlight ...
Solar heating is a very efficient method of using solar energy, with the ability to absorb 900-1000w/m2 of heat from sunlight, compared to only 200-300w/m2 of electricity that could be generated from ...
