Yes, this is not a huge amount of solar panels. These are mirrors.
This system uses thousands of mirrors (with more than 1 million square metres of glass) which reflect and concentrate the sunlight in one place - "Receive" which is located on top of 550 feet (1 foot = 30.48 cm) tower.
At this "Receiver" the special fluid is used - molten salt, which absorbs the heat.
This salt can be stored till we need electricity (one of the key advantages of the system)
Then the heat is used to generate a steam which in its turn is used in a steam turbine to produce electricity.
So we get 100% renewable with 0 harmful emissions energy which
enough to supply 75,000 homes with electricity during peak demand periods

To install this system we need a lot of people hence they get a job

This is a solar power system that uses a lot of mirrors to collect light into one place and generate steam from the heat. In the future, hydropower, wind, geothermal, and solar power should be utilized more than fossil fuel generation methods such as nuclear power generation for the environment of the earth.
Great effort in finding this amazing product. Keep up the good work for SH!
Nice Hunt! This is the Advanced Technology product for generating electricity and store heat with the help of solar, we need more products like this to generate more electricity thanks for your Nice hunt and good luck
great artifact men think that you can generate energy so easy and one spending money on tradisional energy great hunting
Not only is this a source of energy for homes and industries at large. It provides jobs for the able bodied. Renewable energy is definitely the future. Great hunt
This setup makes sense to me. Mirrors all aimed at a collector, heat up and heat is stored, used as needed to drive a steam electric generator. It looks like it covers a lot of ground, but it is an interesting alternative to solar cells.
The entire process sounds so simple, it's ingenious. One of the issues plaguing regular solar panel technology is storage, especially on a large scale. This seems to have solved that with the use of molten salt.
agree. thanks )
Brilliant idea and execution. Awsome technology for producing electrical power with use of mirrors (to reflect the sun rays into one point - creating heat) and molten salt to store the heat with no harmful impact on the environment.
agree. thanks )
Well its nicely & great info @alexbiojs.
Appreciation for your unique idea for hunt. This much better than solar. I think its not destory with heat.
Keep it up
That's a very interesting idea. I can get energy from mirrors! I didn't even think about it. I think this item can protect the Earth. You can also create many jobs. Thank you for sharing.
