Solar Power
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systemsuse lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.
Solar power is theconversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaic’s (PV), or indirectly with concentrated solar power (CSP), which normally focuses thesun's energy to boil water which is then used to provide power.
Concentrating solar power
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area ofsunlight into a small beam. The concentrated heat is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant. A wide range of concentrating technologies exists; the most developed are the parabolictrough, the concentrating linear Fresnel reflector, the Stirling dish and the solar power tower
Photovoltaic power systems
Solar cells produce direct current (DC) power, which fluctuates with theintensity of the irradiated light. This usually requires conversion to certain desired voltages or alternating current (AC), which requires the use of the inverters. Multiple solar cells are connectedinside the modules. Modules are wired together to form arrays, then tied to inverter, which produces power with the desired voltage, and frequency/phase (when its AC).

Concentración de los sistemas de energíasolar utilizan lentes o espejos y sistemas de rastreo para enfocar un área grande de la luz solar en un pequeño haz de luz. La energía fotovoltaica convierte la luz en corriente eléctrica utilizando...
