Yes, this is not a huge amount of solar panels. These are mirrors.

This system uses thousands of mirrors (with more than 1 million square metres of glass) which reflect and concentrate the sunlight in one place - "Receive" which is located on top of 550 feet (1 foot = 30.48 cm) tower.
At this "Receiver" the special fluid is used - molten salt, which absorbs the heat.
This salt can be stored till we need electricity (one of the key advantages of the system)
Then the heat is used to generate a steam which in its turn is used in a steam turbine to produce electricity.

So we get 100% renewable with 0 harmful emissions energy which

enough to supply 75,000 homes with electricity during peak demand periods

To install this system we need a lot of people hence they get a job

This is a solar power system that uses a lot of mirrors to collect light into one place and generate steam from the heat. In the future, hydropower, wind, geothermal, and solar power should be utilized more than fossil fuel generation methods such as nuclear power generation for the environment of the earth.

Great effort in finding this amazing product. Keep up the good work for SH!

Nice Hunt! This is the Advanced Technology product for generating electricity and store heat with the help of solar, we need more products like this to generate more electricity thanks for your Nice hunt and good luck

great artifact men think that you can generate energy so easy and one spending money on tradisional energy great hunting

Not only is this a source of energy for homes and industries at large. It provides jobs for the able bodied. Renewable energy is definitely the future. Great hunt

This setup makes sense to me. Mirrors all aimed at a collector, heat up and heat is stored, used as needed to drive a steam electric generator. It looks like it covers a lot of ground, but it is an interesting alternative to solar cells.

The entire process sounds so simple, it's ingenious. One of the issues plaguing regular solar panel technology is storage, especially on a large scale. This seems to have solved that with the use of molten salt.

agree. thanks )

Brilliant idea and execution. Awsome technology for producing electrical power with use of mirrors (to reflect the sun rays into one point - creating heat) and molten salt to store the heat with no harmful impact on the environment.

agree. thanks )

Well its nicely & great info @alexbiojs.
Appreciation for your unique idea for hunt. This much better than solar. I think its not destory with heat.
Keep it up

That's a very interesting idea. I can get energy from mirrors! I didn't even think about it. I think this item can protect the Earth. You can also create many jobs. Thank you for sharing.

When I was a kid, one of the worst feelings was related to loadshedding. No electricity meant no tv programs and it was so frustrating at that time. Fast forward....25 years later, 12 hours loadshedding is still a normal thing in my part of the world. And you know how bad it feels when you know that you're living technologically in the most advanced times and producing electricty for humans is not a big deal yet you keep it that way year after year and generation after generation...because you don't want to solve this problem. SolarReserve can generate 100% harmless energy to provide electricity to 75000 homes during peak hours. If govt adopt this product, they can at least solve the electricity problem. Great hunt.

agree. I hope we will see some their projects in Russia. thanks )

This is awesome.
It is cool to know that with the help of SolarReserve,one can actually get expected energy without to worry about power failure.

Keep hunting

Wow! Another unique way of generating power out from natural resources of nature, it was indeed helpful to humans. I do love inventions that seeks harmful renewable energy, it helps ease the global warming effect of our traditional power source great hunt! I will give this hunt a score of 5 out of 5!

It uses a lot of mirror to concentrate solar light to one place and then it uses salt to preserve that heat and then it is used to generate steam and then that steam is used to run the turbine to generate power, this is in deed a great technology where the green houses gas emission is not there and fully renewable source of energy is utilized for electricity generation. great hunt by you.

Thank you and Have a great day.

I saw the old version of this technology on a television documentary program. This salt can be stored until we need electricity (one of the most important advantages of the system). Absolutely I agree. A great specialty. Thank you.

Hello @alexbiojs

Electricity or power generation is one of the major problems of the third world countries. I do personally feel SolarReserve is a superb and very much effective methodology to produce the electricity with an alternative way. It surely is very cheap and less complex than the traditional methodologies to produce the electricity.

Outstanding hunt :)

agree. thanks )

I hope technology such as this becomes the standard for everyone although we'll have to get rid of the jackasses who won't let it happen due to $. This is great! Awesome design.

agree, thanks )

Solarreserve is a great solution for alternative energy in countries. By having this panel will support electricity need for thousand houses.

great hunt!

Getting 100% renewable with zero harmful emissions energy sounds great. PErfect product for the environment and perfect hunt.

Pros

  • Clean energy source like solar energy
  • No harmful emissions
  • Environment friendly
  • Cons
    None

    Hi @ alexbiojs, genius hunting.
    Similarly, solar grills work.
    The mirrors "capture" the sun's energy and at a certain angle point to the focal point.
    The high temperature is used to heat the salt solution!
    This solution serves as a heat energy accumulator to be used when needed.
    That heat will turn the Water in the steam we use in generators to get electricity.
    100% echological system.
    Super Idea ...

    good analogy, agree, thanks )

    With the new era of technology, the solar panels are going giant steps technologically speaking this is great because it helps us in saving good money and also helps in the contamination since those big industries are not used to produce energy.

    Great hunt @alexbiojs This sure is innovative yet tedious to build. I bet it need a big space to build it. On the otherside, it provides employment opportunity. Anyway its a great Initiative for a renewable energy.

    Awesome hunt

    Smart brain at work . this would be called proper use of solar energy .

    this is absolutely a great project for green energy, thank you for sharing this. it is absolutely good for our environment

    A source of the future power supply. With the 100% renewable energy, every place would have benefit by this technology

    wow this is indeed lovely, so we dont need cracking our head again as this can also helps to generate more jobs since lots of person is needed to Install it.

    Pros and Cons
    Pros:
    -Resever solar power for later use
    -Generate green energy

    Cons:
    -Expensive to deploy in wide scale.

    What a great product, that all the mirrors point to a single place and this stores the heat to drive an electric steam generator. What technology Great hunting.

    What a great energy source and the best part is, it is eco friendly because it is harmless to the environment. Perfect hunt.

    Great piece of work and also extra ordinary engineering. I just want to give a big SALUTE to the entire team of this project. Awesome hunt keep it up.

    Your post has been rereviewed

    What a niche invention to generate electricity on demand from alternative sources. I can see, they have listed India in their development activity, so I hope, we will see some projects in India as well. All the current electricity generation projects typically runs on loss, because of loss in transmission. I am not sure, how that will affect this project. Will watch and see.

    It is very good invention that is useful for everyone but I thing it cover much space. I hope in future it will be big source to generate the electricity.

    Stay blessed and keep it up.

    Everyone needs this, it will actually serves as other means of generating electricity.

    Great hunt

    it sounds cost the system of concentration of solar light with so many mirrors, but it is a great idea and interesting with many uses, I hope they manage to develop more, good hunt

    This thing is even better than solar cells. Less damaging to nature and definitely cheaper. I hope that soon there will be power plants that would produce electricity in this way. Nice hunt

    Wao this is very beautifull and big product to save electricity and this type of solar systems we need . I think it is need of time to make electricity.

    Excellent hunt

    It is very useful to get energy in emergency situations but it occupies so much place.

    Please introduce this to the 3rd world country like Nigeria where generation and distribution of electricity constitute a great problrem, I will be interested in promoting this product because it is going to be an hot cake in my country.

    maybe this will be interesting for you - their project in South Africa

    Can this work for small scale industry where less expensive one can be created for them if so I will like this Bere because this will surely be solution to some people's problem

    SolarReserve is an amazing project. It offers a variety of job opportunities from construction and energy technology development and maintenance.

    upon reviewing again, I have approved this.

    thanks

    Yes this system are great ... solar towers. The combination of the molten salt as a storage unit, and a steam generator for producing electricity can improve the balancing side of producing electricity.

    Hello @alexbiojs, your post is informative I found it useful.This is I think a new thing I have yet heard of people will also get employment in it and electricity is produced, nice.

    I think the use of solar energy is not an option, but a necessity. Although we are in the technology development phase, we don't see any clear profit structure coming out, I think it's a must for the distant future.

    Solar Energy can do wonders and thus can be used to help us solve our energy related problems. It's pleasing to know that people are doing more project related to solving energy crisis in the world. I think, in these technological advanced times, it's not a big deal to finally overcome our energy problems with the help of products like SolarReserve. This small product can do a 'handy' job and I really want to appreciate the efforts of its makers. Fine product with great outcome.

    thanks )

    just build solar panels. why this much trouble?

    This is new! A new unique way of harnessing the power from the sun. I don't want to disturb my head with the chemistry and physic behind this idea, It is definitely a nice concepts. I hope it will come cheaper than solar panels.

    I liked this.

    Nice innovating of renewable

    And its not harmful... Brilliant hunt

    amazing way to produce electricity. in modern world electricity is essential for every work. I did,t understand how this work it,s principal of electric generation is like dream work. thanks for sharing this amazing hunt
