Would be great if North Africa and Sahel could become sun energy exporter to Europe while also "empowering" its own people instead of pumping dirty oil which incidentally produces the warmer climate that's especially dangerous to this region. All the best!

[@Alexander_Kale]

you saw the numbers. According to this video, the WHOLE of Morocco uses 10 GW of energy and they would need 15 to twenty of these plants just to meet THAT. Exporting energy? Not at this rate.... Edit: forgot a zero there. changes little...

[@Flex2212]

@@Alexander_Kale I would suggest you visit your numbers once more because this plant is going to produce a combined peak 0.58 GW as of its completion in 2020 and it is the first of five plants in the pipeline.

[@Alexander_Kale]

​@@Flex2212 "My" numbers? My numbers are taken from this video alone. 580 MW they say, bravo, you caught that. They also say this would supply "6 percent of the country", and if you do the math, that results in the country needing about 10 GW, with another 15 or so plants required to meet that amount. 5 plants would supply another 30%. I need to check my numbers? you sure?

[@Flex2212]

@@Alexander_Kale So I trusted one of your numbers which you now edited. You originally said Marocco consumed 1 GW now you say it is ten. So yes it is your numbers but obviously mine as well now. And also 0.58 GW is not a joke for a pioneering project like this. It surely is debatable whether my wish is possibly also the future but it is far from lalaland-bonkers.

[@Alexander_Kale]

@@Flex2212 Indeed, I edited that number. I also said that it changes little, because the 15 addditional plants things was not contingent on it. You trusted one number, you didnt trust the others? You could have pointed out that I was missing a zero - but again, it does not change anything. Instead, i am left with my original point: export is not possible anytime soon. I have no idea just where lalalaland is, but talking about export now is certainly somewhere in that direction.

It suppose to represent Africa.. But Morocco isn't actually that African to be honest

[@coconoelnyc]

Great video! First of all the solar energy is something very new to all of us; so I would like to know how the CSP( CONCENTRATED SOLAR ENERGY) is beneficial? Because it will only help 6% of the population of Morocco - which is 35.74M - and such infrastructure costs a lot of money plus the cost of its maintenance. The thing which bothers me about the CSP is the fact that the source is free (Sun), and again someone is trying to rob people off. What if they use that money and install solar panels on the top of each house in Morocco free of maintenance? The reason why we are navigating from water as a source of energy is that in the future we will have a shortage of water. The sun is free. I don't understand why someone will have a CSP and again sell electricity to others? Get solar panels. CSP takes too many lands. I'm new to this, so I'm just asking questions. It is not a criticism!

[@confuzler6985]

Because it is cheaper to build one large installation rather than many smaller ones, and much more efficient. You cannot convince millions of households to all have solar panels on rooftops, and even if you could, the panels that can be attached in the available space is usually just a fraction of the consumption of that household. Add to that the fact that in any African country, there are several cities with large concentration of population, for example, one single building can have a tiny footprint and hundreds of residents... also consider factories, commercial surfaces, hotels etc. none of which have enough rooftop surface area... That being said, the main reason is location, that part of Morocco pretty much sees direct sunlight every single day of the year, which is not the case in other parts of the country. Home panels are a great addition, and every home owner with access to a rooftop should be encouraged to mount solar panels, but that will not satisfy the ever growing energy need of modern life, think about how much energy an air conditioning unit consumes for example.

1) A 'mirror ball-style' reflective dome/sphere positioned inside a much larger 'one-way mirror, internally reflective surface surrounding dome/sphere (like a bright light bulb inside an uplighter/downlighter-like lamp shade with a curved, concave shape and a mirrored interior)'. 2) Sunlight enters the one-way mirror dome/sphere. 3) Sunlight is then reflected outwards by the one-way mirror-surrounded 'mirror ball/sphere/dome'. 4) Sunlight having been reflected outwards is then reflected back inwards by the internally mirrored surface of the 'one-way mirror' dome/sphere 5) Therefore, an enormous amount of sunlight from all across the entirety of the sky is reaching a 'convex mirror sphere' and is ultimately, via the above route, all concentrated to a single, small 'focal point' just in front of the 'internal, "slightly off-centre" mirror ball/sphere/dome positioned almost - but not quite - in the centre of the external, surrounding 'one-way mirror', sunlight concentrating, convex mirror shell. • Could this be a 'super-efficient' method by which to concentrate solar energy? • No, because 'photons reflected - by a convex mirror - in a great number of directions is not the same as a greater number of photons being reflected'?

Would there be a way to sell this kind of energy to other continents? it would be interesting if African countries could become a literal powerhouse for solarenergy thanks to the huge exposer to the sun and also be able to create jobs and sustainability in Africa, while selling huge amounts of power to other countries.

[@ness.]

If the technology to do so is there, I think it would be a great and valuable venture for the countries involved. Africa has to first learn how to use its resources to its benefit. Before we even tap into exporting solar energy, there is still room for improvement when it comes to using resources to our benefit. For example, nations who have oil or gas have some sort of influence. Things have improved greatly though.

[@jonathanhesse4972]

@@ness. There is obviously lots of potential in this and I'm glad that things is improving! It seems that this is the only Solar Power Plant outside of South Africa in Africa. Do you think that China would try to get into this? I'm asking because they have been involved in a lot of new ventures in Africa during recent years, and 9 of the 11 solar power plants in construction right now are located in China.

Hopefully there is no major flyway for birds -- I'm a big proponent of solar but not CSP solar, PV all the way. On the California border with Neveda near the town of Primm Neveda, is the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Station consisting of three solar towers with there respective helostat fields and it hasn't lived up to the potential energy production and has incinerated too many migratory birds. CSP solar is only practical in places that have very little cloud cover as CSP only operates from direct sunlight whereas PV panels still produce a good amount of power on cloudy days as well as indirect light on cloudless days.
