Results for tag: "Solar Tower"

The Solar Tower market is a subset of the Solar Power industry, which uses the sun's energy to generate electricity. Solar Towers are large structures that use a field of mirrors to concentrate the sun's energy onto a receiver at the top of the tower. This concentrated energy is then used to heat a fluid, which is then used to generate electricity. Solar Towers are typically used in large-scale solar power plants, and are often used in combination with other solar technologies such as photovoltaic cells. Solar Towers have several advantages over other solar technologies, such as their ability to generate electricity at a higher efficiency than photovoltaic cells. Additionally, Solar Towers can be used to generate electricity during the night, as the heat stored in the receiver can be used to generate electricity. Some companies in the Solar Tower market include SolarReserve, BrightSource Energy, Abengoa Solar, and Solar Millennium. Show Less Read more
