AORA Solar has joined with Ethiopia to help the country meet their carbon neutral goal using the company’s hybrid Tulip system.

The hybrid system designated for Ethiopia would feature a tulip-shaped tower centered in an array of mirrors. As the mirrors reflect the sun onto the tower’s bulb, the air inside the bulb heats to boil water, creating steam that turns a turbine generator. The turbine can also be powered by other fuels, including natural gas, to ensure a steady supply of electricity even when the sun is not shining.

Other countries have also been experimenting with the “tulip” technology, and the first solar tulip in the U.S. is slated to be built soon.
