Abstract :
A utility scale solution to Solar generation of electric energy in the U.S.A. is to use reflectors to drive a heat engine which turns an electric generator. A storage system, battery, uses an electrolysis cell for water to produce hydrogen, and the hydrogen is used as fuel for operation between sunset and dawn.
