In the Southwest United States, an enormous solar energy resource remains largely untapped. There is already more than 500 MW of concentrating solar thermal power in the United States and Spain primarily, but there is significant scope to scale up development. As Congress oversees the nation’s transition to a clean energy economy, a homegrown renewable energy technology—concentrating solar thermal power—can help cut emissions and enhance energy security with American resources.

Australia and other nations rich in solar resources should invest in concentrating solar thermal (CST), a key low-carbon technology.

The solar service model is an innovative way for companies to switch to solar power without making typically
