BrightSourceEnergy builds, owns and operates cost effective large scale solar systems. 

Unlike PV panels that convert sunlight directly to electricity ... their LPT 550 uses thousands of mirrors to focus light rays on a boiler at the top of a tower ... producing steam that drives  a turbine to generate electricity.  The system is closed loop and is cost competitive with oil and gas.BrightSourceEnergy LPT550

" ... BrightSource Energy plants... built on less than 2% of the land in the Mojave Desert ... would provide enough power for all of the homes in California and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by over 30 million tons per year."
