The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project, near Tonopah, Nevada. This facility employs a field of mirrors focused on a central tower, as seen here from a United Airlines Boeing 737.

.. pronto crecerán placas solares.
Este pequeño grupo de olivos viejos serán el testimonio de todos los que antes ocupaban esta loma orientada al sur.
Solar Navigation
One of the navigation lights at the entrance of the Inner Harbour on Alderney, Solar powered now :)
It is a tad after noon the sun is just over the southern horizon as for the moon it's on its way down.
this image depicts what the scene here in Fairbanks Alaska were the daylight hours are dwindling away on this day we lose 4minutes and 11 seconds of daylight the sun is 3 degrees above the horizon. This creates some real challenging lighting in the winter
Both great sources of renewable power,
Turbines are the alternative to fossil fuel without greenhouse gas,
Its all pure with a minimal land use,
This was taken out east on Long Island few years back.
Tilonia India, Barefoot College -
From September 2011 to the following March, women travelled from across Africa, from countries like Uganda Liberia and South Sudan, to take part in training to become solar engineers.
Each was selected or nominated by her local community and supported by a variety of local and international organisations, and in some cases, their governments. Their trainers, who mostly speak Hindi, must cut across linguistic and cultural barriers using gestures and signs.

My main reason for heading to the west end of Zurich on that post-lockdown day, was in order to photograph the building featured here. Even after doing some research, I can't tell you exactly what it is used for, but it appears to be part of the Swissmill complex and is likely a grain silo. If any of you know what the building is used for, then please let me know.
I had seen the building multiple times out the train window while travelling along the nearby tracks and every time I thought to myself that it would look amazing photographed in black and white. The compositions I originally had in mind will be featured in the next post, but I was also quite chuffed with how this front-on image turned out.
Film: Rollei RPX 400
Camera: Rolleiflex 2.8F with orange filter

EVa are well catered for at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, with this row of solar-powered charging stations. Aptly enough, given Elon Musk’s SpaceX projects, a Tesla Model X gets juiced up at one of the stations.
A house on the (almost finished) bicycle boulevard (Franklin Street).
This house has at least 13 solar panels. I'm unsure of how much power those 13 panels I saw can generate.
This is an image I took for a competition recently to do with energy in the environment, so far it's won me a few things, result! :o) Let me know what u think guys......x
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant in the Mojave Desert. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada. The plant has a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW). It deploys 173,500 heliostats, each with two mirrors focusing solar energy on boilers located on three centralized solar power towers. The first unit of the system was connected to the electrical grid in September 2013 for an initial synchronisation test. The facility formally opened on February 13, 2014. In 2014, it was the world's largest solar thermal power station.
Yet another sunshine oriented photo. I can't help it - it's been so unseasonably sunny and warm here in the Northeastern U.S.! This is a solar powered flower that "dances" when you set it under a light. The way it moves is so cheerful that you really can't help but feel happy watching it.
For Our Daily Challenge: Six (for six petals)
We recently helped a customer who was paying 20 cents/kwh in NY. We were able to lower that customers rate by 10 cents/kwh. That means for every 100,000 kwh they use, they save $10,000!!! We can save our customers an average of 15-30%.

At first I didn't like the hydro tower, but then I started to like the juxtaposition of man's made power structure to nature's own. Day 239 in the bag, early!
Enjoy in the light box - It's Sunday!

How can you look at this pic and *not* think it comes from a Sci-Fi movie/tv-show of power generation on a distant planet that humankind has inhabited/infested...
...picture taken (by Austin whilst I was driving, per my instructions) of a molten salt solar power plant here on Gaea/Earth outside Nevada as we made our way back to SoCal from a Water Polo tournament held in Las Vegas last weekend.
This unique camera had a special battery that could be recharged from the current produced by two top cover-mounted solar cells. Found this example dusty and disregarded in the back of a shelf at a local antique store. Have never see one of these in the wild before. 20USD.
