Israel Building World’s Tallest Solar Tower
The world’s tallest solar tower is currently being constructed in Israel’s Negev desert. It will be 250 meters (820 feet) tall, is encircled by around 50,000 mirrors, called heliostats. Unlike the more common photovoltaic solar panels, which convert sunlight directly into power, the heliostats reflect the sunlight
into the tower to heat a boiler, which will produce the steam to spin a turbine to generate electricity.
The tower is just one of three power plots in Ashalim, with each plot using a different form of solar technology.
Israel :
♦ Capital: Jerusalem
♦ Currency: Israeli new shekel
♦ President: Reuven Rivlin
