This article Commercializing Solar Power with Molten Salt talks about a new system that will store the sun’s heat in molten salt. The salt will allow a solar power plant to be able to generate electricty even when it is dark or cloudy.
"But now, a new venture called SolarReserve hopes to change all that using salt! Their program would save and store captured solar energy in molten salt, the new solar plant will produce up to 500 megawatts of peak power — comparable to what a regular coal power plant can produce, only with no greenhouse gas emissions…"
