CSP technologies use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver. This heat - also known as thermal energy - can be used to spin a turbine or power an engine to generate.

Where temperatures below about 95 °C (200 °F) are sufficient, as for space heating, flat-plate collectors of the nonconcentrating type are generally used. Because of the relatively high heat losses through the glazing, flat plate collectors will not reach temperatures much above 200 °C (400 °F) even when the heat transfer fluid is stagnant. Such temperatures are too low for to electricity.
