Its hard to imagine a better place for large scale solar power generation! Last week, a new solar array in Arizona was launched using a unique concentrating solar power system: the SunCatcher from Stirling Energy Systems.
Sixty giant parabolic dishes – also known as solar collectors – concentrate solar heat at a hydrogen-filled piston, which drives [...]
