solar applications... 1. the solar concentrator
this is just one type of solar energy concentrators renewable energy companies are building at a steady rate...
Solucar PS10 (Spain) generates electricity in a commercial way. Basically the sun hits the many individual mirrors on the ground and sunlight is focused on small area at top of tower. The concentrated light is then used as heat or as a heat source for a conventional power plant (see solar thermoelectricity). The power generated is then used to provide energy in the forms of heating or cooling, such as in solar air-conditioning. See wikipedia for more...solar concentrator app on wikipedia
