The growth of solar power industries worldwide has been rapidly accelerated by the growth of the solar market in China. Chinese-produced photovoltaic cells have made the construction of new solar power projects much cheaper than in previous years. Domestic solar projects have also been heavily subsidized by the Chinese government, allowing for China's solar energy capacity to dramatically soar. As a result, they have become the leading country for solar energy, passing Germany's capacity in 20.

Studies have shown that the disc-type solar thermal power generation system used in space has the advantages of low aerodynamic resistance, low launch quality and low operating cost compared with photovoltaic power generation systems. . Dish/engine systems use a parabolic dish of mirrors to direct and concentrate sunlight onto a central engine that produces electricity. Tower CSP (NOOR III) is seen here in the foreground while behind it, rows of parabolic troughs – the two Trough CSP plants (NOOR I and II) – can be seen further back. This article introduces disc solar thermal power generation. . The invention discloses a disk type solar power plant, comprising a first column of light gathering disks arranged in the north and south directions, the distance between the centers of any two adjacent light gathering disks in the first column being more than or equal to L1, wherein L1 is equal to. .
