A solar power tower, also known as 'central tower' power plant or ' heliostat ' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun's rays upon a collector tower (the target).
In summary, the power tower concentrating solar power plant, at the heart of which lies the heliostat, is a very promising area of renewable energy.

Operation modes of a solar tower plant. mode 3: solar-only operation; when the storage is fully charged, part of the available power is dumped (by defocusing an appropriate number of heliostats), mode 4: toward sunset, solar thermal power is decreasing, and additional power is delivered from storage, and
Traditional solar power towers are constrained in size by the height of the tower and closer heliostats blocking the line of sight of outer heliostats to the receiver. The use of the pit mine's "stadium seating" helps overcome the blocking constraint.
