Solar thermal energy, also known as concentrated solar power (CSP), involves the use of mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight and convert it into heat. This heat is then used to produce electricity or for other applications. This process relies on technologies like geothermal systems, which tap into the planet's internal heat, and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). . Thermal energy storage (TES) systems allow for the capture and storage of heat, which can be used later when energy demand is high or when renewable energy sources like solar and wind are not available. Thermal power is a simple technology where a panel collects heat from the sun.
