Solar thermal power is a technology that uses sunlight to generate heat, which is then converted into electricity. This process typically involves large mirrors or lenses that focus sunlight onto a receiver, heating a fluid that produces steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator, creating electricity. This method of energy production is efficient and can be used in various applications, from small-scale residential systems to large solar power plants. Solar thermal power is considered a renewable energy source, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable energy practices.
