Solar power day & night
The solar technology involved is known as concentrated solar power (CSP)
which uses mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays on a fluid container.
The super-heated liquid then drives turbines to generate electricity.
The advantage over solar photovoltaic panels, which convert sunlight
directly to electricity, is that if sufficient hot fluid is stored in
containers, the generators can run all night.
