used to provide power. PV - used to power small and medium-sized applications (from calculators to off-grid homes). Energy storage methods Molten salts. Ø low-cost, Ø have a high specific heat capacity Ø can deliver heat at the right temperature. Solar power plants The 354 MW SEGS CSP installation is the largest solar power plant in the world (California) Other large CSP plants include the Solnova Solar Power Station and the Andasol solar power station, both in Spain. The Charanka Solar Park in India - world's largest PV plant. One 140 acres of unused land on Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
