Turning a solar power system into its own backup
Rather than directly converting photons into electricity, concentrated solar energy uses mirrors to turn sunlight into heat, which can then be used to drive traditional generating turbines. Up to...

A technician checks a glowing ceramic heat store at a Tampere glassworks. Could stored heat put surplus power to work?

#futureliving #HeatStorage #CleanEnergy #Glassmaking #Finland
At a glassworks in Tampere, Finland, a technician uses an infrared instrument to inspect the softly glowing ceramic honeycomb core inside a large insulated thermal battery. Pipes and industrial equipment surround the unit in a warmly lit factory at blue hour.

🔥 Launched in September 2026, the Terrafer project, involving @dlr-de.bsky.social and partners, is researching seasonal high-temperature geothermal storage in natural ground at up to 400 °C – to make renewable heat available when needed, for example in winter. #SolarThermal #HeatStorage
