Solar power 24/7
Thank you for visiting – ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, get beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
Tonopah, Nevada, has a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year and will provide power for 75,000 homes. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion.
This solar power plant can operate 24/7 – hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video describes this.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures.

Peter, thanks for the pointer to your Tonopah pic. This is indeed very interesting. The sunset reflection on the mirrors is great here. Fascinating technology, very interesting this one uses effectively a giant ‘salt battery’ so it generates power 24×7.
Incredible Beautiful!
Wow, gorgeous capture! I haven’t been to Tonopah in a while. Guess I need to go back.
