A solar thermal power plant. The black solar collectors heat up oil, which in turn heats up water in boilers to generate steam which spins turbines yada yada yada.

 

"The Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) is an education and research facility founded in 1974 for research into the uses of Deep Ocean Water in Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) renewable energy production and in aquaculture. It later added research into sustainable uses of natural energy sources such as solar energy. "

This is a solar power plant near Kramer Junction where CA58 and CA395 come together between Mojave, Ca and Barstow, Ca.

 

The Kramer Junction companies operate and maintain five 30-megawatt Solar Electric Generating Systems (SEGS). These SEGS comprise 150 to 354 megawatts of installed parabolic trough solar thermal electric generating capacity located in California's Mojave desert. The combined California facilities produce more than 99% of the commercially available solar generated electric power in the U.S.

This second Solar XL project installation follows the first solar panels that were installed on the farm of Jim and Chris Carlson on the KXL pipeline route. Details for the 3rd Solar XL installation site announced soon!

 

The families partnered with Solar XL project sponsors Bold Nebraska, 350.org, Indigenous Environmental Network, CREDO, and Oil Change International to put renewable energy directly in the pipeline’s path. Solar XL underscores the need to center solutions to climate change while rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline and resisting the expansion of the fossil fuel industry.

This solar thermal unit is one of several installed on the roof of a York Housing Authority single-room occupancy building. The tubes are filled with propylene glycol, which doesn't freeze and which will be heated by the sun, pumped through the system and help heat the building's water.

 

Thanks to a $2 million competitive, energy-specific American Recovery and Reinvestment Act fund, the Housing Authority of the City of York has installed photovoltaic/solar panels and solar thermal units to service one of its single-occupancy buildings on 449 East King Street. The 24 solar panels, which are now active, have replaced the 93 apartment units' wall air-conditioning units and will also help heat the apartment units. The solar thermal units will help heat water for the building.
