Groundbreaking solar plant in Spain generates 24 hours of power
Spain's Gemasolar concentrating solar power plant just became the first solar power plant to generate power for 24 continuous hours.
The plant uses a Power Tower design which features a field of 2,650 mirrors that concentrate sunlight onto a boiler in a central receiver tower. The plant also utilizes molten salt as a heat transfer fluid that allows it to generate electricity when there's no sunlight.
