This type of solar is a Solar Thermal Electricity .This technology that uses mirrors and/or lenses to reflect and concentrate solar radiation from a large area onto a small area.The energy is then used to heat working fluids or materials that will be used to produce electricity .These systems are complex to build,so they are only feasible for utility -scale power plants.These power plants became popular around the world their capacity start from 100MW and up to may be 1000MW . For 100MW power plant could cost up 3 billion dollars.USA had built around four of these in Arizona ,and California desert where there a lot of Sun.And srart full operation in late 2013. Abu Dhabi,. Algeria,Saudi Arabia already built these types of power plants and already running.The best ideal place for these power plants is north Africa.That is why a lot of European country start investing and building such a power plants in morocco and Algeria and spending billions of dollars so near future these countries will get enough power and export it to Europe northern African countries will be benefit so do European countries
