Alternative Energy – The Facts – Solar Power – Part 3

Alternative Energy – The Facts – Solar Power – Part 3
Concentrated Solar Power Systems use concentrated solar radiation as a high temperature energy source to produce electrical power and drive chemical reactions. Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam.

The concentrated light is then used as a heat source for… Read the rest
