Solar energy to form electricity
 

In the year of 2011 began the plan of forming electricity in Abu Dhabi, Solar plant is basically supposed to produce electricity throughout the sun heat which is called Gemasolar, each year it produces enough electricity to power up more than 25000 homes. Designing the plant took 3 years, here in Abu Dhabi they use molten salt tanks to store electricity, while other plants don’t, some of them use oil to transfer heat to molten salt ,which is called transfer fluid. Molten salt can hold more heat than oil since oil is organic and salt is not. The size of each reflector is approximately equal to a two-bedroom apartment, they also use magnifying glass to absorb more heat, and since they had 2650 reflectors it needed to be managed carefully.
