Aerial photography of where the solar power plant is

Where are solar power production sites located?

Among the locations featured in The Solar Power Series are Ivanpah (California), Crescent Dune (Nevada), Les Mées (France), Planta Solar (near Seville, Spain), and Gemasolar (also near Seville). Most of these solar power production sites are kind of pilot projects and first of their kind constructed within the past 15 years.

What is aerial photography & how does it work?

These aerial images provide a unique perspective on how the construction of solar farms takes place. Aerial photography is exactly what it sounds like—photographs taken from the air. This type of photography can be taken from hundreds to thousands of feet in the air, depending on the size of the area you want to capture.

How do solar power plants work?

Those round, center-oriented constructions are solar thermal power plants. Thousands of mirrors called heliostats concentrate the sun’s energy to a tower that heats molten salt. The salt can reach very high temperatures and hold the heat even after the sun has gone down.

Why should a construction company use aerial photography?

Additionally, photographs show various stages in the construction process so the construction teams can get a better understanding of the progress as such large solar projects come together. Aerial photography also provides an easy way for construction companies to showcase their work during the various stages of development.
