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 ...
Next-gen thermal solar technology may be closer than it appears thanks to plastic rearview mirrors. According to reports from New Atlas and the University of South Australia, UniSA experts have ...
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 ...
Dutch renewable energy company Photon Energy is planning to build a 300 MW/3.6 GWh solar-plus-storage project on 1,200 hectares of land at an unspecified location in Australia. The company said it was ...
European scientists have developed a solar module that can produce electricity and heat at the same time — in a potential breakthrough for low-cost clean energy generation. The device is made up of a ...
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 ...
