How does the solar power tower work • Solar towers use sun-tracking mirrors to reflect the sun’s heat • This technology is good because it can make more heat than other technologies.
Advantages of Solar • Solar energy is a resource that is not only sustainable for energy use, it is alwaysrenewable (at least until the sun runs out in billions of years). • Solar power can be used to make electricity. • No Fuel Cost - Solar Thermal Energy does not require any fuel like most other sources of renewable energy. • Predictable, 24/7 Power -Solar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a day.
Disadvantages Big and use a lot of land, • they use almost 43 times as much land as hydroelectric dams • and 165 times as much as coal plants.
