Η μεγαλύτερη ηλιακή μονάδα, παράγει ηλεκτρισμό και όμορφες εικόνες
IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 05 2013: An aerial view of Tower 1 and its heliostats at the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility. Tower 1's heliostast installation is nearly completed, and steam blow tests are taking place. Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 170,000 heliostat mirrors spread over 4,000 hectares, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to drive specially adapted steam turbines The project, developed by Bechtel, will cost $2.2 billion and be the largest solar farm in the world (photo Gilles Mingasson/Getty Images for Bechtel).

Εντυπωσιακές φωτογραφίες από την τεράστια ηλιακή μονάδα στην Καλιφόρνια. Σε πόσα σπίτια θα παρέχει ηλεκτρισμό (Pics)

Σε λειτουργία τέθηκε η μεγαλύτερη ηλιακή μονάδα στον κόσμο, η οποία χρησιμοποιεί 300.000 μεγάλους καθρέφτες.
Το “Ivapah Solar Electric Generating System”, παράγει ηλεκτρισμό για 140.000 σπίτια στην Καλιφόρνια, κάτι που θα οδηγήσει στη μείωση των εκπομπών διοξειδίου του άνθρακα, που αντιστοιχεί στην απόσυρση 72.000 οχημάτων.
Πέρα από τις θετικές επιπτώσεις στο περιβάλλον, οι εικόνες της εγκατάστασης είναι πολύ εντυπωσιακές, όπως φαίνεται από τις εικόνες που ακολουθούν.
