What’s projected to be the world’s largest single-site solar park is now set to get a major boost after developers approved a plan to build the world’s tallest solar tower in the middle of the park. Located 31 miles south of Dubai, this concentrated solar power project will generate power by using lenses and reflectors to concentrate sunlight onto the tower to heat fluids, which can in turn produce steam to drive a turbine. The massive park is set to include 2.3 million photovoltaic solar panels and will reduce carbon emissions by 6.5 million tons per year.
