That's one example of a non-PV approach. Another is (Ausra) - they're putting in a 177MW plant in CA and another in SA.

They're claimed cheaper and more scalable - they use water has the fluid, and the mirrors are cheap, flat architectural glass, as opposed to costlier parabolic structures.

They also have a pressuried steam storage technology that will run a plant for 6-8 hours after the sun goes down.

Lots of innovation in this area with serious capital beyond it. (Ausra is backed by KP).
