Idea is that a thermal solar park is cheaper to build then photovoltaics, but is more cumbersome to operate, it needs water and slightly more expensive to run. Needs more area then wind, and more expensive to build.
However its upside is less noise and slighlty lower running cost per MW.

Compare with wind
Provides 4-8 MW green energy
Building $ 6000
Running $ 80 /w
Area ~4x4
