Concentrating solar technologies for low-carbon energy
Concentrating solar technologies can be used to generate electricity and process heat from sunlight, with the capability to store energy for use at night or when insolation is low.
Solar explained
Linear concentrating systems collect the sun''s energy using long, rectangular, curved (U-shaped) mirrors. The mirrors focus sunlight onto receivers (tubes) that run the length of the mirrors.

Concentrated solar power (CSP), also called concentrating solar power or concentrated solar thermal, involves systems that collect solar heat for multiple purposes like cooking, desalination, or the generation of electric solar power, by using mirrors to concentrate a large area of sunlight toward a receiver. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat (solar thermal energy
