Solar thermal company Ausra will cut the ribbon on a large factory in anticipation of a construction boom in solar power plants in the Southwest United States.

Ausra said that its product design has lower manufacturing costs and thus, a lower cost per kilowatt for utilities. It uses less steel than mirrored troughs and standard components like architectural glass, so it doesn't need to rely on specialized suppliers, O'Donnell said.
