Mega Solar: the World’s 13 Biggest Solar Thermal Energy Projects

Solar thermal energy plants focus the glare of the Sun’s rays on a central location to create heat, which is then turned into electricity. Various methods exist to concentrate the solar radiation, including parabolic troughs, power towers with mirrors that track the Sun (heliostats), parabolic dishes, and Fresnel reflectors. See a history of solar thermal energy.

1,000 Acres of Giant Solar Mirrors to Rise in Israel's Desert

Finally Solar energy plants in the Negev could theoretically produce all the country's power on 225 square kilometers of suitable land.

The Negev Desert averages about 330 sunny days a year. And the country has no domestic energy alternatives. The potential for solar is astounding, explains Professor David Faiman, director of Ben-Gurion University's National Solar Energy Center:
