Abstract
The Solar One Pilot Plant successfully demonstrated the feasibility of solar central receiver power plants. During its operating years many data were collected regarding the efficiency and availability of the various plant systems. The author summarizes these statistics and compares them with goals developed by the Department of Energy. On the basis of this comparison, design and operation improvements are recommended
