Concentrating solar power plant. View of the solar receiver at the Sierra SunTower concentrating solar power plant in Lancaster,California,USA. Concentrating solar power plants use arrays of heliostats (mirrors with sun-tracking motion) to reflect sunlight and concentrate it onto a receiver at the top of a central tower (seen here). The concentrated solar energy is then used to produce electrical power by boiling water to produce steam,which is piped to a steam turbine electricity generator | |
