Instead of converting sunlight directly into electricity, as photovoltaics does, solar thermal harnesses the sun's energy to heat a fluid called a heat carrier and then uses that heat to generate electricity or provide heat for industrial or domestic applications.

Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) technologies can be used to generate electricity by converting energy from sunlight to power a turbine, but the same basic technologies can also be used to deliver heat to a variety of industrial applications, like water desalination .
