索卢卡尔发电厂(Solucar Platform)位于西班牙南部大桑卢卡尔，是欧洲最大的太阳能发电站，预计2013年竣工以后，可以满足18万个家庭的用电需要，相当于每年减排60万吨温室气体。
耸立于西班牙南部大桑卢卡尔的索卢卡尔发电厂的新型PS20太阳能集热塔聚集着太阳光的能量。

这座位于塞维利亚附近的太阳能发电站是欧洲最大的太阳能发电设施。
The plant, near Seville, is the largest solar complex in Europe
PS20太阳能集热塔共有超过1000块镜板，每块约为120平方米，它们就像向日葵一样，总是面朝太阳方向。
Over a thousand mirrors, 120 square metres each, follow the sun in the same way that sunflowers do
这些镜板将阳光聚集到两座高塔之上，每座塔高165米。
The mirrors concentrate the sun's radiation onto two towers, each 165 metres high
PS20高塔顶端的水被加热，产生水蒸气，驱动涡轮机发电。
Water at the top of the towers is thus heated up, producing steam which drives turbines, generating electricity
这两座高塔的发电量满意满足1万个家庭的用电需要，相当于每年减排1.2万吨二氧化碳。
With its two towers, the plant produces enough energy to supply 10,000 households, and prevents the emission into the atmosphere of about 12,000 tons of CO2 a year
索卢卡尔发电厂(Solucar Platform)将于2013年竣工，届时，它可以满足18万个家庭的用电需要，相当于每年减排60万吨温室气体。
When the entire complex is finished in 2013, it should be able to supply 180,000 homes with electricity, preventing the emission of more than 600,000 tons of greenhouse gases each year
西班牙国王胡安·卡洛斯和王后索菲亚为PS20太阳能集热塔揭幕。

安达鲁西亚是欧洲阳光最充裕、最干燥的地方之一，每年阳光照射时间平均达到1500小时。
Andalusia is one of the sunniest, driest spots in Europe, with an average of 1,500 hours of sunshine a year
