By Solar Thermal Energy?

Solar thermal power systems use concentrated solar energy
In most types of systems, a heat-transfer fluid is heated and circulated in the receiver and used to produce steam. The steam is converted into mechanical energy in a turbine, which powers a generator to produce electricity.

What is meant by solar thermal energy?

Solar thermal energy is the collection of the sun's heat for human use. It's unlike photovoltaic (PV) power, which converts a portion of the sun's electromagnetic radiation directly to electrons and electricity. ... There the hot liquid turns water into pressurized steam which pushes a turbine, producing electricity.

What is solar thermal energy good for?

Solar thermal encapsulates any technology that takes sunlight and converts it into heat. That heat can then be used for three primary purposes: to be converted into electricity, to heat water for use in your home or business, or to heat spaces within your house.
