Concentrating solar power brightens China’s green dream

Описание: On its path towards a green energy future, China is investing in concentrating solar power, or CSP.

In northwest China's Gobi Desert, this CSP system uses over 12,000 mirrors to concentrate sunlight on a central collector.

A CSP system is different from traditional photovoltaic solar panels because it makes and stores thermal energy, rather than turning the sun’s light into electricity.

That means easier storage and fewer irregularities, especially for large-scale power needs.

The facility can generate up to two million kilowatt-hours of power in one single day, meeting the annual demand of about 500 households.
The International Energy Agency estimates that China's CSP installations will surge to 118 gigawatts by 2050.
