Summary

Discusses the inclined solar chimney, in which the collector and chimney are built together up the slope of a tall, sun-facing mountain, avoiding the cost and stability problems of a tall vertical tower. It assesses how well the concept suits South Africa's very high solar resource and notes that the mountain base could also heat water or dry crops.
