A bright future is dawning in China as the world's largest solar tower project (by expected tower capacity) recently broke ground — and it's a major win for people and the planet alike. Recently, ...

Synhelion’s solar tower technology harnesses energy from a field of solar mirrors and concentrates it onto a receiver. The receiver converts the solar radiation into high-temperature process heat, ...

The novel heat pump concept combines solar energy with chemical storage and reportedly consume 75% less electricity than conventional heat pumps. The system relies on a battery and a heat storage tank ...

A solar updraft system works by heating up the air at ground level, then using the fact that hot air rises to funnel that air up a tall tower with turbines in it. The air is heated under a large roof ...

Power-generation through the use of solar updraft towers is a fairly old concept that has only been tried at small scales until now. A more ambitious solar updraft project is underway. I dunno, maybe ...

This UFO shaped plant in Spain is attracting much attention as it is a 2,650 towering structure able to generate solar power ...
