Solar power and reflectors

Concentrated solar power

A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a

Solar power, even at night: These giant space mirrors could send

The idea seems straightforward: large, ultra-lightweight reflectors in orbit around the planet will reflect sunlight onto large-scale solar power farms still firmly rooted down on
