But there&#8217;s another, almost forgotten type of solar energy: concentrated solar power. Its big advantage is that it can store the sun&#8217;s heat for a long time and turn it into electricity when needed \u2013 for example at night, when normal solar panels lie idle. Is it set for a comeback?\u202f <\/p>\n<p>#planeta #solarenergy #concentratedsolarpower<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn&#8217;t need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world \u2014 and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we&#8217;ll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Planet A on TikTok: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@<\/a>dw_planeta?lang=en<\/p>\n<p>Credits:<br \/>Reporter: Malte Rohwer-Kahlmann <br \/>Video Editor: Frederik Willmann <br \/>Supervising Editor: Kiyo D\u00f6rrer <br \/>Factcheck: Alexander Paquet <br \/>Thumbnail: Em Chabridon <\/p>\n<p>Read more: <\/p>\n<p>CSP project databases: <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/solarpaces.nrel.gov\/?utm_medium=domain-switch&#038;utm_source=csp&#038;utm_campaign=solarpaces\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/solarpaces.nrel.gov\/?utm_medium=domain-switch&#038;utm_source=csp&#038;utm_campaign=solarpaces<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cspdata.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/cspdata.com\/<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>NREL best practices study: <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrel.gov\/docs\/fy20osti\/75763.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.nrel.gov\/docs\/fy20osti\/75763.pdf<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Status of CSP plants installed worldwide: <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2571-8797\/6\/1\/18\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2571-8797\/6\/1\/18<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Chapters: <br \/>00:00 Intro <br \/>01:18 How CSP works <br \/>02:49 Technology race <br \/>05:07 Crescent Dunes <br \/>07:03 Comeback? <br \/>10:51 Conclusion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know about photovoltaic solar panels.
