Solar panels have gotten so cheap that the plant, born of an old attempt at harnessing the power of the sun, appears to be obsolete.

Vast’s latest ARENA grant will underwrite at least half of what it needs to build the concentrated solar project.

This is China's new dual-tower solar thermal plant ... the solar thermal power plant uses the heat to turn water into steam.

In the solar tower power plant, a volumetric receiver at the top of the tower absorbs the concentrated sunlight and uses it to heat the surrounding air to up to 700 degrees Celsius. A steam generator ...

Australia’s Vast Renewables has completed a first-of-its-kind concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) receiver tower, one of the ... the smaller towers, we can turn that one off and keep ...

Another technique uses moveable mirrors to focus the sun's rays on a collector tower, where a receiver sits. Molten salt flowing through the receiver is heated to run a generator. Other solar ...

Two units at the massive solar power plant near ... Water is piped to the top of the tower and runs through a heat exchanger, absorbing heat from the sun and turning into steam to turn generation ...
