Solar power tower

A solar power tower is a system that converts energy from the Sun - in the form of sunlight - into electricity that can be used by people by using a large scale solar setup. The setup includes an array of large, sun-tracking mirrors known as heliostats that focus sunlight on a receiver at the top of a tower. In this receiver, a fluid is heated and used to generate steam.

Solar power tower

A solar power tower, also known as ''central tower'' power plant or ''heliostat'' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun''s rays upon a collector tower (the target). Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems are seen as one viable solution for renewable, pollution-free energy.
