When we convert our first physics experiment in life—create fire with sun and a magnifying glass—on a Giga scale, we get something close to concentrate solar power. This technology simply uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight from a large area on a single receiver, and covert that concentrated light into heat than to steam and then to electricity. Concentrated solar power projects are big — The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility, located in the Mojave Desert, is the largest CSP in the world, and uses three power towers and generates about 377 MW. My today's guest will discuss details of this technology, the price trend, and some specific projects Let's welcome Xavier Lara Connect with Sohail Hasnie: Facebook @sohailhasnie Twitter @shasnie LinkedIn @shasnie ADB Blog Sohail Hasnie
