Reuters announced last Friday that Google has developed a prototype for new solar mirror technology. Also known as heliostats, the structures are placed on acres of land and used to focus sunlight on a tower to superheat water, which then turns turbines for clean, renewable energy. Google’s technology has the promise of cutting the cost [...]

Google, the well-known Internet search corporation, is getting into the solar energy business. It is working on mirror technology to be used in solar powered turbine plants. These plants use solar thermal power: sun shines on specially designed mirrors which focus the energy to superheat water which is then used to turn turbines, generating electricity. [...]
