Its temperature reaches 900 degrees Celsius, which causes the water surrounding the salt tanks to boil, creating large amounts of water vapor that rotates the steam turbines. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/seville-solar-plant-5.jpg" style="height:404px; width:600px" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> This station is the first of its kind capable of generating solar energy during the night, as the molten salt loses its temperature gradually in the evening hours, but it remains high, reaching in some cases up to 500 degrees Celsius, which works on the continuation of the boiling of water and the rise of steam, and thus the continuation of the work of the turbines in the hours of the night . </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/seville-solar-plant-12%5B6%5D_0.jpg" style="height:399px; width:600px" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The station is capable of producing 110 kilowatts of electricity per hour, enough to cover the electricity needs of 25,000 homes. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/seville-solar-plant-9%5B2%5D_0.jpg" style="height:399px; width:600px" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/seville-solar-plant-6%5B6%5D.jpg" style="height:399px; width:600px" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/seville-solar-plant-15%5B5%5D.jpg" style="height:267px; width:600px" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
