Results for tag: "Concentrated Solar Power"

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a form of solar energy that uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight onto a small area. This concentrated light is then used as a heat source for a conventional power generation system. CSP systems are typically used to generate electricity on a large scale, and can be used to provide power to remote areas or to supplement existing power grids. CSP systems can also be used to provide process heat for industrial applications. CSP systems are typically more expensive than other forms of solar energy, but they offer the advantage of being able to store energy in the form of heat, allowing them to provide power even when the sun is not shining. This makes them an attractive option for providing reliable, renewable energy. Some companies in the CSP market include Abengoa Solar, BrightSource Energy, SolarReserve, and Acciona Energy.
