The “Whale Tail” it is 50 meters hight building which accommodates entire infrastructure of the solar power plant and a crematorium: furnace room, cold room, waiting room and a memorial hall with a panoramic view of the sea horizon, office space, utility room and so on.

Cremation performed directly by concentrated solar energy reflected by heliostats. Thus, excess solar power and energy from the cremation is used to generate electricity.

For many people, the project «Whale Tail” is an opportunity to be useful for future generations, even after death, reincarnated in the heliostats.

Heliostat is device that includes a plane mirror, which turns so as to keep reflecting sunlight toward a target, compensating for the sun’s apparent motions in the sky. To do this, the reflective surface of the mirror is kept perpendicular to the bisector of the angle between the directions of the sun and the target as seen from the mirror. So the light is reflected in a place on the top of “Whale Tail” building. There located furnace. All heliostats are controlled by main computer.
