This situation is a harsh reality for the inhabitants of many cities, in particular the town of Rjukan (Rjukan). This Norwegian city is located in the valley in which the mountain chains block the Sun and sunlight for five months, starting in September. Today, technology can bring literally "ray of hope" to the residents of Rjukan. Three huge mirrors with a total area of 50 square meters, will be installed on top of the nearby mountain and thus can reflect the sunlight and illuminate the city in the valley.





Naturally, capabilities of all three mirrors with a total value of 850 thousand dollars, not enough to illuminate the whole territory of the city.
