Solar Thermal Power

Solar thermal power uses sunlight to generate electricity by concentrating solar energy to produce heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator. Unlike photovoltaic solar panels that convert sunlight directly into electricity, solar thermal systems focus sunlight with mirrors or lenses to achieve high temperatures. These systems are effective for large-scale power plants, providing a renewable, clean energy source by efficiently capturing and converting solar heat into electrical power, especially in regions with abundant sunshine.
