2. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

   A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors (heliostats) that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.

3. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

   Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) (also known as concentrating photovoltaics or concentration photovoltaics) is a photovoltaic technology that generates electricity from sunlight. Unlike conventional photovoltaic systems, it uses lenses or curved mirrors to focus sunlight onto small, highly efficient, multi-junction (MJ) solar cells.

4. Solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

   Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light into an electric current. [2] Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar ...

5. Ivanpah Solar Power Facility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility

   The Ivanpah Solar Power Facility served as inspiration for the HELIOS One solar power plant's physical appearance in the 2010 videogame Fallout: New Vegas. [87] The facility inspired American rock band The Fray to name their 2014 album Helios. The album art is an aerial photograph of the plant, which also features in the lyric video for Love ...

6. Solar energy conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy_conversion

   Concentrated solar power (CSP) Uses lenses or mirrors and tracking devices to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Solar power is anticipated to be the world's largest source of electricity by 2050. Solar power plants, such as Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in the Mojave Desert produces over 392MW of power.

7. Outline of solar energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_solar_energy

   Solar power – the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP).. Active solar – technologies are employed to convert solar energy into another more useful form of energy (for example, to heat or electrical energy).
