Some people are starting to believe that Solar Thermal Technology can supply over 90% of grid power, while reducing carbon emissions. High-efficiency is achieved because solar thermal plants do not need to convert energy to another form in order to store it. The future certainly looks bright for solar thermal technology!

In fact, the solar roof (one of the largest in the world) will be constructed first, and it will power the construction of the rest of the building. The 1.4 million square foot building was designed by Chicago architecture firm.
