Concentrated solar power
OverviewComparison between CSP and other electricity sourcesHistoryCurrent technologyCSP with thermal energy storageDeployment around the worldCostEfficiency
Concentrated solar power (CSP, also known as concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat (solar thermal energy), which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) connected to an …
