   The solar power facility under construction in August 2013. The Ivanpah Solar power project was built on 6 square miles (16 km 2) of public land in the south central Mojave Desert. [62] Project construction was temporarily halted in the spring of 2011 due to the suspected impacts on desert tortoises. [63]

3. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

   A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.
