Solar Power-Based Technology Finds Use In A Wide Array Of Applications

Heliogen, a clean energy company, has come up with a zero-carbon method of production of heat of very high temperature. This project has Bill Gates as its investor and it makes use of concentrating solar power-based technology. Experts have arranged several mirrors in one field. The position of each of the mirrors is such a way that it throws back sunlight into a steam-turbine fitted tower. The rays from the sun change water to steam that powers the turbine and produces power. Founder of the California-based startup IdeaLab, Bill Gross, states that computing power has a lot to do in this sector. It can substitute much of the labor and material involved in the concentrating solar power-based technology. This makes them superior to conventional solar panel technologies.
