    Don't look in the mirror

    June 21, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Couldn't visit, but these were the first largescale solar power towers in Spain. PS10 is reflected in 624 heliostats or mirrors and PS20 1,255 giving around 30MW of steam generated electricity, (enough for about 180,000 homes so they say.)
    They're pretty impressive - hot stuff. Why the mirrors appear to be focussed in front of the tower I couldn't discover.
