Concentrated solar power (CSP) is a technology that uses mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight onto a small area, generating heat. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator, creating electricity. CSP systems are typically installed in large solar power plants and can store energy for use when sunlight is not available. CSP differs from traditional solar panels, which convert sunlight directly into electricity. Instead, CSP systems are more efficient in large-scale applications and can provide power even after the sun sets, thanks to thermal energy storage solutions.
