software to calculate parabolas.

Presentation of the Desertec project on Wikipedia.
Desertec does not only plan the construction of solar power plants with parabolic mirrors in the deserts of North Africa. It is a global network across Europe and North Africa. At the centre of the system, the dams in the Alps are the only real way for storing electricity when it is in excess.
