Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. Inside the tower, molten salts are heated to 565 °C and flow down into storage tanks, turning water into steam to drive turbines. The first utility-scale solar-thermal plants were built in the 1980s. It's flexible.
