Principle of Electricity generation by Solar Photovoltaics; (Both Concentrated and non concentrated) Principles of Solar Thermal Technology . 5.1 Working Principle of a solar collector . In a solar collector, the solar energy passes through a glazed glass layer and is absorbed. The solar energy excites the molecules produces heat and
Concentrated solar power (also known as concentrating solar power or concentrating solar-thermal power) works in a similar way conceptually. CSP technology produces electricity by concentrating and harnessing solar thermal energy using mirrors. At a CSP installation, mirrors reflect the sun to a receiver that collects and stores the heat energy.
1. Principle of concentrating solar power. The principle of concentrating solar power is to collect sunlight to the solar collector device through the reflector, use the solar energy to heat the heat transfer medium (liquid or gas) in the collector device, and then add water to form steam to drive or directly drive the generator to generate electricity.
This heat can be used to heat up the working fluid which can further drive the steam turbine. There are different types of technologies that are based on the concentrated solar power to produce electricity. Some of them are - parabolic trough, Stirling dish, solar power tower etc. The following schematic shows how a solar power tower works.

The steam from the boiling water spins a large turbine, which drives a generator to produce electricity. However, a new generation of power plants use concentrating solar power systems and the sun as a heat source.

CSP plants generate electric power by using mirrors to concentrate (focus) the sun's energy and convert it into high-temperature heat. That heat is then channeled through a conventional generator. The plants consist of two parts: one that collects solar energy and converts it to heat, and another that converts the heat energy to electricity.
