What was once the largest solar power plant of its type in the world appears headed for closure just 11 years after opening ...

Like traditional concentrating solar power (CSP), 247Solar’s technology uses mirrors to reflect sunlight onto a receiver tower. The tower is shorter than traditional CSP towers, and its turbines ...

Modern technologies create opportunities for any state to switch to renewable sources of cheap energy from water, wind, or ...

Concentrated solar has returned to projects that will pair it with PV to extend power output into the night, reducing overall LCOE by harnessing synergies between the two technologies. Some of the ...

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems are an innovative technology that harnesses solar energy by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, typically a receiver.

Concentrating solar power, developed by the US Department of Energy in 1982, uses mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto receivers containing a heat-absorbing fluid. The heated fluid is ...

Despite the potential of wind and solar energy to meet a substantial part of Canada’s energy demand, their intermittent nature calls for innovative energy storage solutions. This research is a ...

The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, a familiar sight to those driving along Interstate 15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, is set to partially shut down, according to its operators.
