its basically a bowl of water made of solar panels, i mean it not a bad idea at all but its nothing crazy either.
Comment on New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again…

It’s cooler than that; they use the heat to make molten salt, then use a heat exchanger to boil water with that, the salt gets stupid hot and holds energy into the night.

Sounds like it’s hotter than that not cooler

coincidentally, just saw a youtube short with more crazy shit

they mix three salts together to control the melting temperature so it’s still hot but not as hard on the equipment.
