I would imagine CSP plants to be operating as ORC Organic rankine cycle) plants as they can achieve evaporation in lower temperatures and dont need water in their circulation.

CSP plants also have added benefit that can be used in some sort of heat storage solutions which would enable production in cloudy/ night times. I remember reading that the material heated in focal towers is some salt that actually melts there.
