The Sun behind the heliostat of a tower power plant. When operating the power plant, the mirrors on many heliostats direct sunlight to the tip of a tower where temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius are generated. Electricity is produced via a turbine and a generator. Tower power plants operate at higher temperatures, which helps to make electricity generation more efficient.
