Again your opinion, but NREL's language is very clear. When one talks about a power generation plant in comparison with other power generation plants, they are usually referring to the entire plant, unless specified otherwise.

NREL uses the term

parabolic trough plants
so unless they indicate it to mean anything else, then it's reasonable to believe that's what they mean, whether you agree with it or not.


It's evident though that you have uncertainties about what NREL's intended meaning is, even though they have made it clear and spelt it out. Again though instead of wasting your time arguing about it, go find out what they mean for your own piece of mind and when you do know what they mean, tell us and the world about your new found discovery and when you do that, I will then say "now that wasn't that difficult was it ?"
