Description:
"Solana, one of the largest solar power plants in the world, is a 280 megawatt (MW) parabolic trough plant.
Solana, using parabolic trough technology, will have six hours of molten salt thermal energy storage, which will allow energy to be dispatched as needed during cloudy periods and after sunset. Solana, therefore, will be able to generate electricity well into the evening to help meet the summer peak demand for air conditioning."
