1-14. (canceled)
A high-power tower receiver configuration, used in tower solar plants that have heliostat fields located around said tower receiver, which configuration comprises one or more areas, each area constituted at least by one central module and at least one peripheral module, each module having at least one panel exposed to the incidence of radiation reflected by at least one of the heliostats, the central module panels being only saturated steam panels, and the peripheral module panels being only superheated steam panels with a front side and a back side, each peripheral module being arranged at a certain angle with respect to an adjacent central module, such that, within a given area, each peripheral module receives radiation from the heliostats on both the front and back sides.
