We all know about photovoltaic solar panels. But there's another, almost forgotten type of solar energy: concentrated solar power. Its big advantage is that it can store the sun's heat for a long time and turn it into electricity when needed – for example at night, when normal solar panels lie idle. Is it set for a comeback?

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
