Have a look at this Solar Thermal Plant, located in the Mojave Desert at the California/Nevada border.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System uses 347,000 garage-door-sized mirrors to heat water that powers steam generators.
This CSP-plant is one of the clean energy facilities that helps produce 10% of California state’s electricity.
