PS10 Solar Power Tower - Solúcar, Spain

Tony Seba, author of "Solar Trillions" made this video during his visit to PS10 in February 2009.

PS10 (Plataforma Solar 10) is a Solar Power Tower located within Abengoa Solar's Solúcar Solar Park. The PS10 tower has a height of 330 feet (110 m) PS10 tower and has a generating capacity of 11MW. Commissioned in June 2007, it generates 24.3 GWh of electricity per year—about enough to fully power 5,500 homes. S10 has 640 heliostats for a total mirror surface of 74,800 m2 (800,000 ft2.)

At the time of the visit (feb 2009) this was the largest commercial solar power tower in the world.
