The Beam Down Tower at Masdar is a step forward in concentrated solar power (CSP). Unlike other plants, the system reflects sunlight twice, once from the heliostats to the central tower and once from the tower down to a collection platform at the system's base. Because scientists can focus the sunlight at a very small area, they can achieve great heat. They recently concentrated solar energy to 590 degrees. The plant is currently only 100 kW, but designers say it could scale up easily.
