This is China's new dual-tower solar thermal plant, Interesting Engineering reports. Solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity are becoming a familiar sight all over the world.

What was once the largest solar power plant of its type in the world appears headed for closure just 11 years after opening.

On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various techniques ... mirrors to focus the sun's rays on a collector tower, where a receiver sits. Molten salt flowing through the ...

The facility includes a 110 MW CSP tower and a 640 MW solar plant. Covering 16.5 km², the solar thermal segment spans 2 km² and is China’s largest project combining these two solar energy sources.
