Les centrales solaires utilisent l’énergie solaire pour produire de la chaleur qui est ensuite convertie en électricité. Des centrales d’énergie à chenal parabolique comme « Solar » sont constituées de milliers de miroirs paraboliques disposés en chenal qui dirigent les rayons solaires vers des tubes absorbants couverts d’un revêtement spécial (récepteurs). Les rayons solaires chauffent l'huile thermique coulant dans les récepteurs à presque 400 degrés Celsius (plus de 75 degrés Fahrenheit) de sorte que les échangeurs de chaleur en aval puissent produire de la vapeur.
« Solar » devrait commencer à fournir de l’énergie solaire au réseau en juin 2007 et devrait produire suffisamment d’énergie pour satisfaire aux besoins de 40 000 foyers. Le recours à l’énergie solaire plutôt qu’à l’énergie fossile pour produire de l’électricité permettra de réduire les contribuants à l’effet de serre, dont l’équivalent serait de retirer environ un million de voitures des autoroutes américaines.
Grâce à l’extraordinaire performance de tous les types de technologie solaire, ainsi qu’à leurs coûts de production d’électricité inférieurs, les centrales d’énergie paraboliques vont bientôt permettre de produire de l’électricité dans les régions du monde à fort rayonnement solaire à des coûts comparables à ceux des centrales fonctionnant à l’énergie fossile.

Solar Energy
Solar power plants utilize solar energy to produce heat, which is then converted into electricity. Parabolic trough power plants, such as Solar, are comprised of thousands of parabolic mirrors arranged in rows that direct the solar rays towards absorber tubes, which are covered by a special coating (receivers). The solar rays heat the thermal oil flowing in the receivers to more than 750 degrees Fahrenheit (nearly 400 degrees Celsius) so that the heat exchangers downstream can produce steam.
Solar should begin providing solar energy to the grid in June of 2007, and should provide sufficient energy to satisfy the needs of 40,000 homes. Resorting to solar energy to produce electricity, rather than fossil fuels, will allow for the reduction of greenhouse gases, equivalent to removing a million cars from American highways.
Thanks to the extraordinary performance of all types of solar technology, as well as their cost-saving benefits in the production of electricity, parabolic power plants will soon allow for electricity to be produced in regions of the world where solar radiation is plentiful, at costs comparable to those of power plants using fossil fuels.
