A field of more than five hundred heliostatic mirrors pointing at towers consisting solar receivers and electronic sensors. This is happening in Newcastle a green energy loving town of Australia. This test power plant is capable of producing immense steam at a massive pressure of 23.49 MPa almost 3399 psi.
The Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) is Australia’s national science agency which has recently claimed it to be a world record in the field of solar thermal energy.
Dr. Alex Wonhas, energy director at CSIRO says that, there is a first of everything, like the landing on the moon. First time humans ever flew or even breaking the sound barrier, and experimenting a successful solar energy that has the potential to be the fuel of the future to the world; is ours first.
As said earlier the movable mirrors are faced at the solar towers; allowing the panels inside the tower to produce heat which later allows the units to produce steam. And that steam spins the powerful turbines thus creating electricity. 
At present time, commercial solar power plants operate at a not-so-advance level using only half the amount of pressure and steam mentioned above. The marketable development of this technology is still under question; as there are a lot of advancements that are needed to be complete. But never the less this is our first very important step towards a more green and brighter future.

I think could be used to desalinate water too.
i am proud to see it in use
I read recently in an article by Bloomberg that solar energy may be the worlds biggest source of electricity in 2050. However, we must continue to educate and inform people about it’s importance in order to see these results. I found an interesting map which shows great potential from many American states however, many are still lacking in growth. Let me know what you think of these results http://www.briteenergy.com/
