A solar chimney (also known as a solar tower) is a solar thermal power plant wherein heated air rises in a tall chimney. The inflowing air is heated in a greenhouse with an open rim surrounding the base of the chimney and a turbine at the base of the chimney turns a generator to produce electrical power. Additional information on solar chimneys can be found on the AVE – Links page, “Solar Chimney” section.
