Solar thermal plants keep generating power after dark
Original: Solar thermal energy: How it stores the sun’s heat to generate electricity at night
Energy company Moeve Global is explaining how concentrated solar thermal plants work: mirrors focus sunlight to heat molten salts or similar materials, which store the energy and can drive turbines to produce electricity hours after sunset. The piece highlights the technology as a way around solar power's main weakness, the inability to deliver when the sun goes down.
Why now: Interest in energy storage solutions is growing as countries push to cut emissions and depend more on renewables.
