There aren't many of them that I'm aware at least, California has one I believe. It was in the ballpark of 700F hitting the convergence point, so, you might as well put something in it that can hold the heat.
As an add-on to existing solar stations, it's one of those where there's extra heat you could soak up, but not quite what you could use to spin a turbine with, not without taking that creativity an extra level.
honestly, i was just thinking you'd use the waste heat from the panels, getting the best of both worlds
I do know they use boilers for some solar setups, I just didn't know molten salt was involved, lol

ah, so you need something that can hold that heat until it reaches the necessary temp then?
