Using solar thermal technology to generate electricity is most popular for large, utility-scale solar projects. In this process, mirrors focus the heat from the sun onto a collector, where a liquid is converted into steam to spin a turbine. Transform heat into electrical energy, 3. Implement conversion efficiencies. Unlike photovoltaic solar panels that convert sunlight directly into electricity. . There are two key methods for harnessing the power of the sun: either by generating electricity directly using solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or generating heat through solar thermal technologies. While the two types of solar energy are similar, they differ in their costs, benefits, and. .
