<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedbump, post: 3162600, member: 75637&quot;]Photovoltaic systems aren&#039;t going anywhere. Distributed power generation using roof-top PV systems is becoming more popular. It puts the power generation directly on top of where the power is used. This can greatly improve the power grid&#039;s stability and reliability.</p><p><br /></p><p>PV system can also be installed most anywhere, even if you aren&#039;t a super sunny location like the Mojave desert. Concentrated solar thermal system require direct sunlight for long durations in order to function. Even partly cloudy days can kill their efficiently. This is why most all of them are built in the desert, and even then it has is moments. The Ivanpah complex in your photos has to burn natural gas when its cloudy for too long. A facility like this would not work well in most places east of the Rockies, but a PV farm could work almost anywhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the heliostat mirrors used in concentrated solar plants are usually coated with silver to help improve reflectivity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
