How does the BrightSource solar thermal solution compare to other renewable energy resources and to other solar energy solutions?
A properly located and constructed solar power plant is a more desirable source of power generation for utilities than other types of renewable energy, such as wind plants, because solar plants produce the greatest amount of power at the time when the demand on the utility is greatest – sunny afternoons. A BrightSource LPT plant has a further advantage in that it can be fitted with auxiliary boilers, which will enable them to reliably supply electricity to the grid during both solar and non-solar hours, and during any extended period of solar disruption.
