Solar plants that use mirrors to concentrate sunlight and make heat for a steam turbine, such as the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System in California and the Noor Ouarzazate complex in Morocco. A facility belongs here when its cited article describes a concentrated solar thermal plant. It excludes plants that use only photovoltaic panels, which have their own group, and this group is kept apart because these plants can store heat for generation after dark.
