Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

The heat can drive steam turbines or engines to generate electricity around the clock. Or, solar thermal can directly provide heat for industrial processes to make steel, cement, and chemicals—all energy-intensive sectors that are difficult to clean up. A 30-kilowatt, 42-square-meter aperture production unit is in development.
