A recent development in solar energy is a solar tower/chimney.It is a method used for large-scale generation of electricity from solar radiation.The principle is very simple.It is based on the well known principle of greenhouse effect,chimney updraft effect, and wind turbine. Ambient air is drawn into a very large circular greenhouse-like collector. The air is warmed by solar energy due to greenhouse effect.
