In recent years, however, CSP development stalled amid the rapidly falling cost of solar PV. Inside the tower, molten salts are heated to 565 °C and flow down into storage tanks, turning water into steam to drive turbines. Bottom line: Parabolic trough systems are considered the most mature and (for now) lowest-cost CSP technology.
