Parabolic-trough solar collector at Plataforma Solar de Almería, owned by the Spanish research centre CIEMAT
With heat accumulators, the current production of solarthermal power stations can be independent of the vageries of the Sun. Solarthermal power stations can supply energy even at night and in overcast conditions. The Plataforma Solar de Almería is owned by the Spanish research centre CIEMAT.
