Solar panels, also known as photovoltaics, capture energy from sunlight, while solar thermal systems use the heat from solar radiation for heating, cooling, and large-scale electrical generation. Let''s explore these mechanisms, delve into solar''s broad range of applications, and examine how the industry has grown in recent years.
As a thermal energy generating power station, CSP has more in common with thermal power stations such as coal, gas, or geothermal. A CSP plant can incorporate thermal energy storage, which stores energy either in the form of sensible heat or as latent heat (for example, using molten salt), which enables these plants to continue supplying electricity whenever it is needed, day or …
