The Mohave Sun Power company is planning a project in Mohave County that could begin construction in the fourth quarter of 2010.

It will use 4,000 acres of land and employ concentrating solar power. Molten salt will be the storage medium.

solar thermal trough from skyfuel

A Colorado company has unveiled what they call the highest performance, lowest cost utility-scale solar power system of any kind for generating electricity. The SkyTrough, by SkyFuel cuts the cost of its parabolic trough concentrator by 35% compared to other commercially available systems, largely because of a mirrored polymer which replaces the heavy glass used in other solar parabolic trough collectors.
