6 FAQs about [The solar panels of the prayer tower]

What is a prayer hall?

The focus of the prayer hall is a dome made from low-emission glass with solar panels, and the sale of generated electricity will provide income to maintain the mosque.

How does a solar tower work?

The tower, which will be 250 meters (820 feet) tall, is encircled by around 50,000 mirrors, called heliostats. Unlike the more common photovoltaic solar panels, which convert sunlight directly into power, the heliostats reflect the sunlight into the tower to heat a boiler, which will produce the steam to spin a turbine to generate electricity.

Why do Mosques have solar panels on their roofs?

Although the roof panels are not visible from the street, a panel standing in front of the mosque informs passers-by how much electricity is being produced by the solar panels at any given time, and how many carbon emissions have been avoided. It's all part of a scheme being pioneered by Morocco's Ministry of Islamic Affairs.

How many mosques have solar panels?

The government plans to install electricity producing PV, or photovoltaic panels, LED lighting and solar thermal water heaters at around 600 mosques by 2019 and more after that. Koutoubia is one of the country's first mosques to have solar panels installed and one of the most-high profile, says Kuntze.

How tall is a solar tower?

With a taller tower, more mirrors can be placed in a smaller area to reflect the necessary amount of sunlight to run the turbine. There are only about a dozen solar tower fields around the world, including one in California with three towers, each of which is140 meters (460 feet) tall, surrounded by 170,000 heliostats.

Which Moroccan mosques have solar panels?

Koutoubia is one of the country's first mosques to have solar panels installed and one of the most-high profile, says Kuntze. "This is a very old mosque, one of the oldest in Morocco. There's a lot of awareness-raising potential via this mosqu,e because it's so important for Moroccans.”
