Salinity Gradient Solar Pond

A Salinity Gradient Solar Pond is a renewable energy technology that harnesses solar energy using water with varying salt concentrations. In these ponds, saltier water at the bottom is denser and traps heat from the sun, preventing it from escaping. This creates a thermal gradient, with warmer water at the bottom and cooler water on top. The stored heat can be used for various applications, such as heating or generating electricity. This innovative system efficiently captures and retains solar energy, making it a sustainable option for energy production while also addressing water evaporation issues.
