Andasol 1 cost around €300 million (US$380 million) to build. [12] Thermal energy storage costs roughly US$50 per kWh of capacity (150 lbs of salt per kWh at a storage temperature of 400 °C), according to Greg Glatzmaier of the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), totaling about 13% of Andasol's initial cost.

The 500-megawatt (MW) SCE/SES plant would extract about 2.75% of the radiation (1 kW/m 2; see Solar power for a discussion) that falls on its 4,500 acres (18.2 km 2). [73] For the 50 MW AndaSol Power Plant [ 74 ] that is being built in Spain (total area 1.95 km 2 ; ¾ sq. mi.) gross conversion efficiency comes out at 2.6%.
Suggest to rename this article to 'Andasol solar power stations', to cover al Andasol stations. Lkruijsw ( talk ) 22:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC) [ reply ] Wouldn't it be best to have a separate article for each one, so we could easily refer to them individually in articles such as List of solar thermal power stations ?
The power station consists of three different systems, Extresol 1, [1] Extresol 2 [2] and Extresol 3, [3] of 50 MW each, due to the power limitation of 50 MW per plant established by the Spanish legislation.
Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range experimental solar-powered aircraft project, and also the name of the project's two operational aircraft. [1] The privately financed project is led by Swiss engineer and businessman André Borschberg and Swiss psychiatrist and balloonist Bertrand Piccard, who co-piloted Breitling Orbiter 3, the first balloon to circle the world non-stop.

Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) is a concentrated solar power plant in California, United States.With the combined capacity from three separate locations at 354 megawatt (MW), it was for thirty years the world's largest solar thermal energy generating facility, until the commissioning of the even larger Ivanpah facility in 2014.
Andosols cover an estimated 1–2% of Earth's ice-free land surface. Andosols are a Reference Soil Group of the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB). [ 2 ] They are closely related to other types of soils such as Vitrosols, Vitrandosols, Vitrons and Pumice Soils that are used in different soil classification systems.
