...Archimedes is said to have focused the sun's rays with mirrors to set on fire an invading Roman fleet in 212 B.C. Over the past century, experimental solar units have been used to power everything from a printing press in France to a water-distilling plant in Chile. With today's advanced technology, the potential is enormous. The sunlight falling on earth could theoretically provide 100,000 times the total energy output of all existing power stations. At present there are three forms of active solar units...
