There's one in Spain as far as I'm aware. The temperature at the water tower is.....fucking HOT. The mirrors need to be clean of dust to get max efficiency and you cant just run a hose over 'em like. There's also analysis of the sun position so they move and other stuff to deal with. I hear the output is wicked sick though. Few a these in a the Sahara or somewhere and the world would be sorted.
