How Solar Thermal Power Works
Solar thermal technology is large-scale by comparison. One big difference from PV is that solar thermal power plants generate electricity indirectly. Heat from the sun''s rays is collected and used to heat a fluid. The steam produced from the heated fluid powers a generator that produces electricity. It''s similar to the way fossil fuel-burning ...
