As part of that green-power effort, the solar thermal energy towers and mirror arrays are expected to save 1.53 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. You can get an up-close look at ...

"The spacecraft is cozy. It has heaters and an active thermal loop, which keep it in a much more normal temperature range," said APL's Taejoo Lee, the solar array product delivery manager.

The system utilizes attachable solar collectors (ASCs ... The measurements showed that the array has a thermal efficiency that is in line with that of commercial PVT products.

As the electrons flow through the cell, they generate electricity. On a much larger scale, solar-thermal power plants employ various techniques to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source.
