Managua High Temperature Solar System

What is a high-temperature solar power plant?

The energy source in a high-temperature solar power plant is solar radiation. Meanwhile, a conventional thermal power plant uses fossil fuels such as coal or gas. The source of energy is the main difference between conventional thermal power plants, and then all types of thermoelectric plants work similarly:

Should a high-bandgap solar cell be used for high-temperature operation?

For high-temperature operation, as discussed before, a high-bandgap solar cell ma-terial would be preferred, but the blue-deficient spectrum puts a limit on the availability of short-wavelength photons.
