Solar power tower

How does the solar power tower work Solar towers use sun-tracking mirrors to reflect the sun’s heat This technology is good because it can make more heat than other technologies.

Advantages of Solar Solar energy is a resource that is not only sustainable for energy use, it is always renewable (at least until the sun runs out in billions of years). Solar power can be used to make electricity. No Fuel Cost - Solar Thermal Energy does not require any fuel like most other sources of renewable energy. Predictable, 24/7 Power -Solar Thermal Energy can generate power 24 hours a day.

Disadvantages Big and use a lot of land,  they use almost 43 times as much land as hydroelectric dams  and 165 times as much as coal plants.
