There are two types of solar energy plants:
1. Plants that use sun's rays directly to heat a medium (sometimes a hybrid plant with natural gas). See Wikipedia entry 'List of Solar Thermal Power Stations'
2. Plants that use photovoltaic cells to produce electricity. See Wikipedia entry
'Photovoltaic Power Stations'
Both these articles list plants in various countries including the US

If you had a solar power house how would you power your building?
The solar power can power your house. Solar power energy can be used to power many things, it just depends on how many solar panels you have. Tioga Energy specializes in solar power. They install and facilitate the solar panels but the customer agrees to buy power from the power generated from the solar panels.www.tiogaenergy.com
Is electricity non renewable or renewable?
Sources of energy are termed renewable and non-renewable. Electricity can come from many sources including power plants, wind farms, hydroelectric plants and solar panels. Power plants that burn fossil fuels are using non-renewable fuel sources, but energy from solar panels use renewable energy. A power plant can use biofuels, which are renewable.
Is solar energy a useable energy?
Solar energy is indeed a useable source of power. There are many companies and businesses that use solar energy as an alternative power source to other energy sources such as oil or fuel.
What does solar power help?
Solar power is a great renewable energy resource. Solar power helps by reducing the demand of the non-renewable energy to prevent depletion of such energy resources. Solar power also helps the environment by reducing the amount emissions from buildings. Tioga Energy uses solar power energy to help power many different facilities. Check out the website to learn more about solar power energy.www.tiogaenergy.com
What are some potential green alternatives to today's power plants?
Many green alternatives to today's power plants exist but have not been perfected. Some of the most popular forms include Geothermal energy, solar power, and wind power.
Does the government currently provide support for solar energy development?
Yes and has many solar plants in the U.S
How are geothermal power plants currently used?
Geothermal power plants are used to provide power to the power distribution grid, just like other traditional power plants. Since geothermal power plants are able to run around the clock, they are used to provide baseline power, unlike many other renewable energy sources such as solar or wind.
Where is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is generated in nuclear power plants, of which there are many.
Other energy sources?
There are many great energy sources other than wind turbines. There is hydroelectric power and solar power.
How much of the world's energy comes from solar power plants?
A very small percentage so far, 0.05%. However, scientists and the public are looking to have more of the world's energy come from solar power plants."Solar power...would represent the annual output from 150 coal-fired power plants" by 2025, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) and Greenpeace said. The report said photovoltaic systems, which turn sunlight into power, now generate 0.05 percent of world electricity and could rise to 2.5 percent in 2025, the main horizon for the report, and then leap to 16 percent in 2040.Not many people know this, but solar, wind, and electricity only account for less than 1% of the worlds energy combined.
Is Saudi Arabia developing solar power?
KSA (Saudi Arabia) is involved in developing all forms of sustainable energy including solar, hydro, concentrated solar power (CSP), wind, waste-to-energy and combined cycle. There are many private companies contributing towards the development of solar power.
What kind of jobs are available in the solar energy industry?
There are many different jobs available in the solar energy industry. Anything from scientific research, to solar power engineering, to manufacturing the solar power, working at a solar power plant, development of the plant, construction of the plant, plant operations, solar photovolataic installers, panel installation and maintenance and supporting occupations.
