There's also the option of Concentrated Solar Thermal, whereby instead of PV turning light into electricity directly, molten salt is heated by focussed light, then the salt flows through a heat exchanger to create water steam to drive a conventional turbine. If there's a leak, the salt just sets and you clean it up with a shovel.
Morocco has Ouarzazate Solar Power Station, Australia had Aurora but seem to be cocking up delivery.
