Some tags and suggestions
I'm adding an "Unbalanced" tag to the top of this article, as it focuses too much on PV, and not enough on CSP. The lead provides a good example of this where paragraphs two and three are mainly about PV.
Also, the use of the term "concentrating solar power" is confusing as there are PV concentrating systems as well (eg., Mildura Solar concentrator power station). Why not use the term "solar thermal power", which is more descriptive?
The large SEGS plant deserves more discussion, but mainly the article is too focused on the USA, and doesn't capture the many interesting solar power things that are happening in places like Spain. The two largest PV power plants, Olmedilla Photovoltaic Park (60 MW), the Puertollano Photovoltaic Park (50 MW), are in Spain, but I can't see where they are discussed. Very few of the solar thermal power plants in Spain are mentioned. I couldn't see where the Andasol solar power station and the PS20 Solar Power Station are discussed.
I'm also adding an "Off topic" tag to the Energy storage methods section. Detailed info about wind power and the Erie Shores Wind Farm is clearly off-topic. The molten salt discussion is more relevant and could be expanded, and plants which use this storage approach mentioned. Mention of wind power and pumped-hydro in the first paragraph of the article is not appropriate. Lead image of the article should focus more directly on solar power.

- I swapped CSP and PV per your suggestion, but wind and storage are vital to the article, and do belong in the lead - without them solar can only be used as a small supplement, and never reach its potential. 199.125.109.77 (talk) 04:01, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
