Homework - esolar


Look at the picture. Read the info. Answer the questions.

Info:
A company called esolar is building concentrated power plants (CSP's) like this one all over southwestern states like Arizona and New Mexico. The states have a lot of desert land. Deserts are great for solar plants because they are empty, dry, and get a LOT of sunlight. Google recently invested 10 million dollars into esolar

Questions:
1) What is the name of the company that is building CSP's in the Southwest?
2) Why are deserts great for solar plants?
3) How much money did google invest in esolar?
