Proponents of solar thermal technology say it is far cheaper per megawatt than solar PV projects.
FORBES: Solar Thermal or Solar Photovoltaic? Areva Says 'Both!'
Abengoa said the project will improve its current solar thermal technology, which uses mirrors to concentrate and direct the sunlight for producing steam.
FORBES: Feds Fund Novel Green Tech For Electric Cars, Solar Heat Storage
As solar panel prices have plunged, developers like Solar Millennium have abandoned solar thermal technology, which uses huge mirror arrays to heat water to create steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine.
FORBES: U.S. Solar Market Jumps 69% in Q2 But Likely To Cool Off
Clackmannanshire Council is to use thermal imaging technology to help homeowners improve the energy performance of their homes.

The pandas failed to breed in 2012 but the zoo is using thermal imaging technology to monitor the pair this time - a world first.
Recycling energy falls under the category of combined heat and power, which generates and uses both electricity and thermal heat-a technology that is now eligible to receive 10 percent investment tax credits from the U.S. government.
In the past ten years it has not only developed technology to harness its own geo-thermal but it has started to export that technology to other countries.
The kingdom also is using sophisticated technology -- thermal screening equipment at entry points and mobile devices to document suspected cases of the flu.
Pressure from both machine-stitching (as quality improves) and thermal-sealing (as technology costs fall) will squeeze an entire segment of this lucrative industry right off the map.
Bell says she was influenced by far-infrared technology (man-made thermal energy).
He adds that another advantage of the technology is the possibility of a thermal storage system.
