A solar power tower is a system that converts energy from the Sun - in the form of sunlight - into electricity that can be used by people by using a large scale solar setup. The setup includes an array of large, sun-tracking mirrors known as heliostats that focus sunlight on a receiver at the top of a tower. In this receiver, a fluid is heated and used to generate steam.

A solar tower system involves a large heliostat field with a single receiver mounted on a tall tower positioned at its centre (Fig. 12.2).The working substances used in the receiver can include water/steam, molten salts, liquid sodium, and air. Its concentration ratio is usually in the range of 150–1500 and the operating temperature is about 300–2000°C.
The principle of a solar power tower system is illustrated in Fig. 5.2. Large amounts of reflectors are placed around the solar tower. The mirrors focus the sunlight into one area of the tower, thus gathering all the sunlight into this spot. Obviously, this spot becomes very hot, and the heat from the sunlight is then used to heat a fluid, typically a molten salt. This molten salt is …
