The result: Though CSP requires the direct normal irradiance (DNI) found in abundance in the world's sunny high deserts, even importing generation
from high - DNI deserts in Spain and Morocco, CSP with thermal energy storage could become an economically competitive option, due to its ability with storage to fill the gaps created by intermittent generation.Imports of thermal solar
