We know it wasn't designed for 24/7 generation - no solar facility can do that. Sorry, there are a number of solar generation sites in the world that supply power 24/7 using molten salt storage now. But it's obvious Ivanpah's designers chose to use natural gas to warm up the cold water each morning before power generation begins rather than using stored solar energy. NG is used at that site to keep the turbines warm overnight.
