Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a technology that harnesses sunlight by using mirrors or lenses to focus large areas of solar energy onto a small, high-efficiency receiver. This concentrated heat is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. CSP systems often include thermal storage, allowing energy to be stored and used even when the sun isn’t shining. This approach provides a reliable, renewable energy source with the potential for large-scale power generation, making it a valuable tool in transitioning to cleaner energy alternatives.
