SOLAR

ENERGY IN SPAIN

Spain is forging ahead

with plans to build
concentrating solar power
plants.

Spanish companies as
world leaders in the
emerging field.

 Spanish companies and

research centers are
taking the lead in the
recent revival of
concentrating solar
power.

Huge curved mirrors about

18 feet wide that collect the
suns energy and focus it on
a receiver pipe in the middle.

The heliostats direct the

suns light to a central
receiver at the top of the
tower.

The tower is also

supported by a small
amount of natural gas.

Spanish companies are

working for the production
of
parabolic mirrors and
glass tube to increase
production.

Zarara says electricity

costs are going up and
solar thermal costs are
going down.
