Yes, this is not a huge amount of solar panels. These are mirrors.
This system uses thousands of mirrors (with more than 1 million square metres of glass) which reflect and concentrate the sunlight in one place - "Receive" which is located on top of 550 feet (1 foot = 30.48 cm) tower.
At this "Receiver" the special fluid is used - molten salt, which absorbs the heat.
This salt can be stored till we need electricity (one of the key advantages of the system)
Then the heat is used to generate a steam which in its turn is used in a steam turbine to produce electricity.
So we get 100% renewable with 0 harmful emissions energy which
enough to supply 75,000 homes with electricity during peak demand periods

To install this system we need a lot of people hence they get a job
