Solar power works by harnessing the energy from the sun and converting it into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating solar power (CSP) systems. Here’s how each method operates.
Photovoltaic systems, commonly found on rooftops and in solar farms, directly convert sunlight into electricity.
CSP systems use mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, generating heat. This thermal energy is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
