... the Solar Impulse flew over Torresol Energy's 'Gemasolar' solar thermal power plant in the Spanish province of Seville - the first large-scale solar thermal power plant to use molten salt as a heat storage medium. Covering an area of 18 hectares, the power plant generates a nominal output of around 20 MW.
