FEATURES
-Molten salt is circulated through highly specialized piping in the receiver (heat exchanger) during the day, and held in storage tanks at night – requiring no fossil fuels
-The tanks store the salt at atmospheric pressure
-Use of molten salt for both heat transfer and thermal energy storage minimizes number of storage tanks and salt volumes needed
-Molten salt is stored at 1050⁰F (566⁰C) until electricity is needed – day or night, whether or not the sun is shining
