ESTELA | Central Receiver
Central receiver (or power tower) systems use a field of distributed mirrors – heliostats – that individually track the sun and focus the sunlight on the top of a tower. By concentrating the sunlight 600–1000

Solar power tower
Near the center of the array, temperatures can reach 550 °C (1,022 °F) which, with the solar flux itself, is enough to incinerate birds. More distant birds'' feathers can be scorched, leading to the eventual

Concentrated solar power
Professor Giovanni Francia (1911–1980) designed and built the first concentrated-solar plant, which entered into operation in Sant''Ilario, near Genoa, Italy in 1968. This plant had the architecture of
