What is the advantage of the new technology being developed by Nur Energy Compan

According to the European Commission’s Institute for Energy，just 0.3 percent of the Saharan Desert’s intense solar energy can provide Europe with all the electrical power it needs.A company called Nur Energy plans to capture some of it by building a solar plant similar to an Israeli one in the Negev desert that uses heliotropic mirrors.This technology，unlike photovoltaic cells，can generate energy even when the sky is overcast or at night.Thousands of mirrors，spread over 100 square kilometers，will concentrate sunlight to a tower where it heats and melts a special salt.
